    Machinery Focus: Does Fendt appeal to the smaller farmer?

    Written by Justin Roberts from Agriland Fendt itself does not pretend that it will match the requirements of all farmers, especially when it comes to price, but the company is keen to show that ownership need not be confined to the 1%. In 2023 Fendt accounted for 3.5% of the Irish tractor...

    thoughts about New Holland TVT

    End of the manual gearbox in cars

    Predicted that within 5 years new cars won't be offered with a manual gearbox. Change driven by rise (& legislation) of EVs but also by new drivers opting to learn only on automatics. Be a bit sad IMO as it's a pleasure & a skill to match gear changes to revs but with flappy paddles, I have...
