I think for the utility section

Think the 8S was the overall

 

[Ducati899]

I thought the new 8s Massey was voted this? Or is that for different hp class?

 

[Lofty1984]

But daft the 8s being mentioned really as it’s not been out long enough to judge surely

The valtra G series hasn’t been out long either, think the first ones just come into this country this month.

What tyres are they??

Looks like they could clog with mud!

First Chinese engine tractor to win anything I’d guess

Meh. Nearest dealer is 55 miles away. Pass a Deutz , MF, 2 x NH, John Deere, Claas, and Case dealer to get there. Is it worth it ?

Don’t think that matters much.
They just share it round all the manufacturers depending on who turn it is that year.

All pretty meaningless really.

Won 4 Times more than Claas in last 12 years and they use their own engines.

And there’s me thinking the only thing the Chinese are famous for engineering is “COVID “

Chinese wouldn't have engineered those engines only produced them.

Thats like saying Claas are famous for engineering and producing all their own engines.

Quite a few threads about Claas at the moment in machinery section.

Let’s bare in mind that’s an accolade once awarded to a TM190

 

[multi power]

Claas don't make engines at all do they?

 

[Westcountryboy]

Looking back at past winners there’s a heavy bias towards AGCO.....

 

[Sid]

Correct
Valtra have won 4 times more than Claas, Valtra use their own engines.

My thoughts around here no dealers within area.

Just checked 56 miles is the nearest!

Miles are part of the equation , its also the road you have to travel on.

I can be on the motorway 25 miles away in the same time i can get 15 miles in the opposite direction!
