WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING A CHAINSAW

When a big tree falls into a field, firewood hunters may slice up and clear the tree for you. If you prefer to do the job yourself, a good chainsaw, with a sharp chain, makes this type of work a lot easier. Note the team here are all wearing the correct PPE

If you are in the market for a new chainsaw, you will already be aware that there is an almost bewildering range of models to choose from within a single manufacturer’s range, let alone when you start to look at different makes too. Limit your choices to models from the two leading players, Stihl and Husqvarna, and both will offer a saw that will be well-suited to farm use. Buying from either should be a safe bet.

This is easy. Visit your local dealer, pick up a few saws and choose the one that matches your budget and has a guide bar long enough to deal with slicing up trees and branches that typically need clearing up after a storm. Job done. Right? Well nearly, yes. For general farm use, saws with a guide bar of between 12 to 20 inches will be a versatile buy and up to tackling most strong wind victims. A really big trunk may call for a bigger bar matched to a more powerful saw, but a 20in bar mated to a nominal 50-60cc model will be as big as most farm users will need.

It is, however, worth spending a little more time, and money, to invest in the right saw for your more specific needs. The starting point is the guide bar length. A saw that can be used with a short 14” bar for most work but has the power to drive a bigger 18”, 20” or even 24” bar for bigger material will be more versatile than one that maxes out at a 16” guide bar.

Those who suggest you just buy a saw with the biggest guide bar for your budget perhaps need to think a bit harder. A saw bought with a ‘short’ bar, but with the ability to swap to something longer if needed, is a more sensible approach. Why?

• a shorter bar is easier and safer to use, particularly when working on a fallen tree where you need to clear away the lighter material before you get to the larger branches and trunk. Less liable to snag and get caught up in twigs and crossed limbs, a smaller bar is still capable of slicing up a thick branch.

• longer bars have greater chain friction. On a less powerful saw, this can reduce the speed of cut.

• some farm orientated saws have no way to adjust the flow of chain oil to the bar. The saw may have the power to work with a longer bar, but this must also be matched to being able to keep the chain lubricated, particularly when dealing with rotten sections of timber or dead, dry wood. Some models may struggle to keep a bar longer than recommended oiled.

CHAIN TYPES

Micro or low kick back skip chain, semi-chipper and full-chipper types are the most common. To simplify matters, the safest bet when buying a replacement chain for an existing saw is to match the new chain to the type supplied originally. If you are not sure, a semi-chisel chain is best suited to ‘farm and landscaper’ orientated saws as this type of chain will cut well in all types of timber.

If you are after a faster cut from a farm

WHAT’S

orientated model like the STIHL MS 271, a narrow ‘kerf’.325” Rapid Micro 3 Pro (RM3) narrow 1.3mm drive link chain matched to a 14”, 16” or 18” Light 04 guide bar will give this saw a real performance boost.

Husqvarna offer similar narrow cut semi-chisel X-Cut S93G and X-Cut SP33G Pixel.325” narrow kerf chain to fit bars from just 10” through to 20” on its 400 series models. There is a lot of choice, with X-Cut chain and bars to fit models to include the 41cc 435 II through to its full professional 550 XP Mark II.

With all bar and chain types, seek dealer

advice before considering if a new bar and chain combination will fit an existing saw. If buying a new saw, narrow chains can cut faster but you need to see what is offered with any given saw model. Working with a dealer can make choosing the right saw easier.

IN-BOARD AND OUT-BOARD CLUTCHES

A key design difference between STIHL and Husqvarna saws is the clutch and chain brake system. STIHL employ an ‘in-board’ clutch. The guide bar cover can be removed, and the

ADVERTISE TELEPHONE: 01303 233883

The Husqvarna out-board clutch is easy to inspect, with the brake band in the chain cover to the left. When the cover is removed, the chain brake must be disengaged. Professional saws may have captive nuts on the cover, retaining them as it is removed

STIHL and other saw makers employ an inboard clutch. This saw model has a spur sprocket chain drive that is integral with the clutch drum, professional models typically featuring a ring sprocket that can be renewed without replacing the drum.

WHAT’S REVIEWED

<< guide bar and chain taken off, with no need to worry about the chain brake.

Husqvarna use an ‘out-board’ clutch, with the chain brake band incorporated into the chain side cover. It is necessary to ensure the chain brake is not engaged when taking the cover off. The chain drive is located behind the clutch drum.

Which is better? STIHL users suggest taking the bar and chain on and off is quicker and easier with an in-board clutch. Husqvarna users suggest you can see the clutch mechanism and chain brake, this making inspection easier.

An ‘out-board’ clutch has also been used on fellow Swedish saw makes to include Jonsered and Partner but these are no longer marketed in the UK. Most other saw brands, such as Makita and Echo, use an in-board clutch.

DRIVE SPROCKETS

Semi-pro saws will typically have a spur (sometimes called star) profile chain drive sprocket, pro-saws a replaceable rim design.

When a spur design gets worn, it and the clutch drum will need to be replaced. Sprockets need to be replaced when the wear groove reaches 0.5mm – reference gauges are available to measure this. Depending upon maintenance, chain sharpness and correct chain tension, a sprocket should last the lifespan of two chains. As an aside, taking the chain on and off a spur drive is a bit easier.

A rim sprocket can be renewed separately from the clutch. It is also possible to fit a different size rim sprocket to certain saws to alter the drive speed and pitch of the chain, but this is a pro-saw topic.

A point often missed is that the clutch drum runs on a caged roller bearing. These should be periodically greased on some saws, a service point to check with a dealer.

AIR FILTERS

The types of filters fitted include simple replaceable paper elements, coated plastic gauze and drum cartridges. Obviously, you get what is fitted to the saw. Filters often get overlooked when a saw is being used extensively, so how easily they can be accessed and cleaned is worth noting. Some saws have a simple catch to release the saw’s top cover, this exposing the filter and sparking plug. Others have a top cover secured by screws or spring clips.

When checking the filter, flip on the choke to help prevent dust getting into the carburettor and blow around the filter to clear dust and debris before removing the filter for cleaning. In some cases, a light blow of compressed air from inside the filter will unclog a dirty filter but refer to the user’s manual for any precautions and tips. Some filters can be cleaned in soapy water, whilst others should simply be renewed.

FUEL FILTERS

Nestling in the bottom of the fuel tank typically on the end of a flexible tube, the fuel filter is a service item that is easy to overlook. When filling with fuel, debris often falls into the tank. Periodically emptying out the fuel tank and fitting a clean filter is worth doing, a clogged filter leading to starting and running problems or preventing the tank running to empty before the engine stops.

CARBURETTOR SETTINGS

Some saws will have adjustment screws to allow the low and high speed settings to be adjusted, others a single screw to adjust just the idling speed. Although it is tempting to fiddle with these carb setting screws, the only one most should

Saw engine air filters come in a range of designs, with simple non-washable inserts, flock or folded washable element cartridge types through to those made from large plastic housings with mesh inserts. How filters may be cleaned is listed in operator manuals. Engine covers can be attached via a locking lever, screws or snap-fit clips.

Professional saws are moving away from adjustable carburettors, but there are those who suggest a tweak of the H for high, L for low and LA for idling screws can tune a saw easily if you know what you are doing. For most users, the best advice is to leave the screws alone, with the idling screw perhaps needing a slight tweak if the saw runs too fast or stalls at idle

adjust is the idling setting. Too low an idle will cause the saw to stall when throttling up or stop when the saw is taken out of work and left to idle. Too fast an idle will cause the chain to run as soon as the chain brake is off. Pro-saw models from both Husqvarna (Auto Tune) and STIHL (M-Tronic) have self-adjusting carburettors that should mean they need no attention and that the saws will be set up to run according to fuel quality, altitude, temperature and even allow for changes in air flow as the air filter starts to become blocked.

STARTING FROM COLD AND HOT*

Chainsaw user manuals outline how to start the engine and they are well worth reading! Some models have a simple procedure. A single control is pushed up to engage the choke, a primer bulb allowing the carb to be primed. Then it is just a case of pulling the starter cord until the saw ‘burbs’ or just starts, flipping the choke off and allowing the saw to run at a fast idle until warm.

Other models have a control that stops, chokes and sets the fast idle. To confuse users, models within a saw range can differ. It is important to mug up on how a particular model should be

started. What all saws have in common is the need for clean, fresh petrol. Most will run on E10 unleaded fuel, but some are fussy and will run better on E5 premium unleaded with 5% or less ethanol. Ethanol is hydroscopic and can lead to the petrol going off in storage. Avoid using old fuel and consider emptying the saw of fuel if it is to be stored for an extended period.

There are starting systems that can reduce the pull required to start the saw, so check when comparing models. Saws with a higher cubic capacity may also have a decompressor fitted to reduce the effort need to pull the starter cord.

If you want a saw that is easier to start, talk to a dealer and try various models to see what suits you.

*When starting a saw, engage the chain brake. ‘Drop starting’, where the saw is pushed down as the starter is pulled, is often used by those wellused to working a saw. This practice is frowned upon as the action of starting the saw can knock off the chain brake and lead to a nasty accident.

WHAT ABOUT ‘NON-BRAND’ INTERNET SAWS?

Do a quick trawl of the internet or some garden centres and you will see you can buy off-brand petrol saws at temptingly low prices. Some even come with spare chain, an extra guide bar and rudimentary PPE. Are these saws any good?

>>

Offered with a choice of 14” or 16” bar, the cordless Husqvarna 540i XP is designed to work with a fast cutting .325” SP21G chain and is well suited to the sort of work you would put in with a nominal 40cc petrol saw. The company offer less powerful models, also able to handle a bar of up to 16”, and these can make a really good choice for those who want a saw that can just be picked up and ready to go with no starting or fuel storage problems. An entry level 120i with a 12” bar retailing for £339.00. The professional 540i XP sells from £699, to which a suitable BLi200X or BLi300 battery from £160, plus a QC330 or QC500 charger also needs to be added. With enough puff to run an 540i XP from a claimed 1hour 15min to 2hours 15min minutes in heavy work, one battery may not be enough for all work but that will still cover a lot of work. Try one of these cordless models and you will be surprised by how it will do the job. Even entry level variants punch well above their weight

First off, all saws sold new in the UK must be CE marked to ensure they meet basic safety standards. STIHL and Husqvarna saws benefit from the latest safety developments, with enhanced kick-back protection, to include when working in the felling position. Some off brand models have no inertia chain brake and may be fitted with a chain that is more liable to kick-back.

A second point is that many low-cost non-brand models are ‘copies’ of mainstream saws that were on offer back in the 1980s, incorporating the ‘older’ anti-vibration safety and engine technology prevalent at the time. A low-cost nominal 65cc saw may well look good value for money but you cannot expect these models to be up to the latest standards. That said, a few actually perform well but that is not the same as suggesting they are good to work with.

Are these low-cost saws worth buying? A cop out answer is to suggest you get what you pay for. You may save a few pounds up front but if that then equates to good value is harder to say. The best saw is the one that delivers reliable performance when you need it, has modern safety features, does not vibrate heavily in work, and can be fixed if something goes wrong a few years down the line.

Husqvarna has recently updated its popular 435, 440, 445 and 450 models to second-generation ‘II’ versions. These latest models have a combined stop start switch with fuel pump primer, snap lock top cover, a large, quick release filter, visible fuel level and flip up fuel and oil filler caps. These ‘pro’ features should make them easier to start and maintain.

550 XP II

The established 455 Rancher model is included as it is a proven, solid design that is built to last. This saw has seen a few nips and tucks to its design over the years but, at its core, it remains what it always was. A versatile and powerful choice that can cope with a long 24” bar thanks to its adjustable oiler.

Husqvarna XP professional chainsaws are more expensive than the 400 series but are built for more intensive use. They are a good choice for those who spend a long time working a saw. The Husqvarna 550 XP II is a great choice for those

who will put a lot of work the saw’s way, with plenty of power to make working in heavy timber less of a chore.

*All prices are full retail and include VAT at 20%.

Pre-mixed alkylate fuels are costly but offer several advantages when compared to pump petrol and a two-stroke oil mix. These include cleaner running with fewer noxious fumes and long-term fuel stability. Leave a saw for a few months with E10 unleaded in the tank and the chances are it will have starting problems. Do the same with a fuel like Husqvarna XP Power 2 and there should be no problem.

WHAT’S REVIEWED

Capable of driving a guide bar of up to 18”, the cordless STIHL MSA 300 is a powerful, professional cordless saw that will perform pretty much as well as a 50cc model such as an MS 261. It could make a great farm tool. With a retail price from £744.00 with a 14” Light 04 bar it is well priced too. Or at least it is as a bare saw. Add the cost of batteries, the recommended AP 500 S design weighing in at £385.00, plus an AL 500 Hi-Speed charger adding a further £135.00 and this is £1,264 all in. You would perhaps want to add another battery, making this tool a bit on the costly side. You would need to put a lot of work its way.

WHAT ABOUT CORDLESS BATTERY SAW MODELS?

If you think a cordless battery powered chainsaw is strictly for light use, think again. Both Husqvarna and STIHL have both entry level and professional cordless models that deliver outstanding performance and are well up to heavy operation. So why not just recommend these over a noisy petrol-powered saw? Two key reasons:

• cordless models best suited to farm use are as expensive as a good pro petrol saw

Now in their second generation, the latest Husqvarna 400 series saws are light, powerful, and ideally suited to farm use. Easy to maintain, start and operate, these models are offered with a choice of power outputs to drive bars of up to 20”

• you are unlikely to be able to charge a battery ‘out in the field’. If you have a big tree to slice up, you will probably need a lot of batteries to cope.

If you just want one chainsaw that can work with bars from 15 to 24”, then the well-established Husqvarna 455 Rancher is well worth a look. Although it misses out on certain features such as flip-up oil and petrol caps and a snaplock top etc, the Rancher is one of the company’s top sellers for a reason

landscaper saws will have more plastic used in the saw’s casings and mounts than a pro-saw. In practice, do not get too bothered by this. Pro-saws may have a few design tweaks that make them more robust, but this is not the same as suggesting non-pro models with plastic casings etc are not up to farm use.

VIBRATION AND NOISE

There is no such thing as a quiet petrol chainsaw, but some models are nosier than others. When it comes to vibration, there are two sources. First from the engine and second from the chain’s cutting action. Although all saws meet certain levels of vibration damping, the amount of protection offered varies noticeably. A pro-saw can feel

>>

<< smoother in work than some light ‘hobby’ saws. Unless you can try a saw, you will not know how well it protects you from vibration nor will you get to hear what it is like at full chat. How do you know what to expect? Vibration data is available for all saws. As a reference, anything below 2.5ms2 would be considered ‘professional grade’ for frequent use. This info can be gleaned from the noise and vibration stats provided by the manufacturer. These should be marked on the saw’s display or product label. Do these points matter? The answer depends upon your attitude to working with a saw. The longer you spend cutting, the more you will appreciate a saw that is smooth running in work and does not breach your ear defenders.

Forget cordless models then? If you have the chance to try a STIHL or Husqvarna cordless saw, their power and ease of use, particularly the pro-variants, will tempt. Quiet and ready to go literally at the touch of a button, a cordless saw is a great device. You just need deeper pockets if you want the autonomy to operate one for a few hours at a time. Do cordless saws have a future? You bet. Current models are brilliant bits of kit. Up front, batteries are costly but once purchased recharge costs are low, making saws less costly to operate. Maintenance costs will be lower too.

You can buy less expensive non-professional orientated models than the couple of examples illustrated here, but these pro models have proven to be up to tough work and ready to compete head on with a professional saw in the nominal 40cc to 50cc class. The downside is up front cost, not performance.

WHAT’S REVIEWED

Professional saws, like this well-used Husqvarna 562 XP, are not ‘better’ than less expensive models that target farm users, but they can make a sound investment if you are going to put a great deal of intensive work their way. Offering better power to weight ratios and typically having features that make them easier to maintain, such as self-tuning carburettors; pro-saws are usually sold with a full chisel chain. A semi-chisel type may prove a better bet for farm use and will be a direct retrofit if it has the same dimension specs

EXHAUST FUMES

You get up close to a chainsaw, and inevitably you are exposed to the exhaust gasses. Modern synthetic two-stroke oils burn with less visible smoke than older mineral based types and current saws can typically run a 50:1 oil to petrol mix. Less visible smoke, however, does not mean the exhaust gasses are not there.

Some saws are offered with a catalyst to help clean up the emissions, but again you are still exposed to combustion by-products that are not over pleasant.

If you find you start to get tired and headachy after using a saw for a while, consider swapping to an alkylate based fuel such as STIHL MotoMix, Aspen 2, or Husqvarna XP Power 2. These fuels are not cheap, but they do burn cleanly and are worth using in saws that spend a lot of time in storage as they are less likely to go stale.

STIHL professional models span 35.2cc/1.8kW to 121.1cc/6.4kW with price tags, including VAT, from £864 to £1,998. What the company class as ‘domestic and firewood’ models span 30.1cc/1.2kW to 45.6cc/2.2kW with prices from £215 to £710. Although there is a lot of choice, a good dealer should help you select the right model, or models, to match your needs and budget

SUMMARY

STIHL and Husqvarna have on-line stores, so pick a saw you like, press the relevant buy ‘buttons’ and it will turn up a couple of days later. Easy if you know what you want. A better bet is to visit a dealer where you can handle a choice of models and talk through what you need the saw to do. Whilst there, you can buy a spare chain, add a pack of the correct size chain sharpening files, get some fresh chain oil and best of all have the saw assembled and given a PDI check over. Don’t forget your PPE. A dealer will outline the essentials needed.

WHAT’S NEW

ELECTRICALLY POWERED COMPACT TRACTOR

Kubota has released the LXe-261 electrically powered compact tractor. Designed to meet current environmental standards, the battery-powered tractor will be showcased at several key events around Europe over the coming months, before being made available for rental from 2023.

With an increasing number of European markets tightening regulations and implementing bans on diesel vehicles, many local authorities and other public bodies are actively seeking alternatives - such as electric vehicles (EVs) and fuel-cell vehicles (FCVs). In light of this, and in line with Kubota’s Environmental Vision published in 2021 to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, they have been researching, developing and trialling electric tractors.

One of the major challenges when developing electric tractors is range and operational time. For that reason, the new LXe-261 is equipped with

a large capacity battery that can provide rapid one-hour charging and three to four hours of continuous run-time. This means operators will be able to quickly charge the batteries during lunch and continue working in the afternoon for optimal efficiency.

The LXe-261 also includes key features suitable for mowing, hauling, and other green space management tasks, including an independent pto, HST transmission and multiple hydraulic outlets. The specification of the LXe-261 is contained in a compact size, making this model well-suited to a wide range of applications

Kubota’s new LXe-261 will soon be displayed at several shows including Europe’s largest turf management show SALTEX, at the NEC, Birmingham in November; Salonvert in France and EIMA in Italy. The electric compact tractor will then be available for rental in the UK from April 2023. After its release, customer feedback

will be sought, to shape future development and expansion of Kubota’s eco-friendly product line-up.

Kubota Corporation is the first Japanese manufacturer* to release a limited number of LXe-261 electric compact tractors in Europe, with the company actively striving towards carbon neutrality. For that reason, Kubota has been transitioning to electric, hybrid, and fuel-cell drives in an effort to decarbonise power sources and reduce CO2 emissions.

These developments represent an important strategic step for Kubota in the UK and Europe, as it aims to fulfil the requirements of core customer segments who have long invested in Kubota’s range of compact tractors, utility vehicles and ride-on mowers for park maintenance and other groundcare tasks.

ON-LAND SHALLOW PLOUGH

Kverneland is to preview its Ecomat on-land shallow plough on plot 10 at Tillage-Live 2022, Eweford Farm, East Lothian, ahead of its launch in 2023.

Developed as an option for minimum disturbance seedbed preparation, the Ecomat provides mechanical control of pests and weeds through soil inversion, reducing the reliance on chemical methods.

“Ecomat is a half-way house between a plough and a cultivator,” explains Kverneland product specialist Adam Burt. “As a shallow plough, the Ecomat still turns soil over but without needing to work as deep as a traditional plough. This means it’s much easier to pull, and it does a far better job of inversion than a cultivator.”

This latest version of the Ecomat enables high-efficiency shallow ploughing, at working depths ranging from 6cm to 18cm. As a result, output is much higher than conventional soil inversion methods, while fuel

consumption per acre, is also reduced.

As an on-land plough comprising 10-furrows, the Ecomat is equipped with short, high-speed bodies of either steel or plastic construction. By working on-land, compaction can be limited by the use of tractors with much wider tyres operating at lower pressures than those typically used in-furrow.

Furrow widths are mechanically adjusted from 30-50cm creating a range of working widths from three to five metres, while its 65cm pointto-point clearance contributes to a compact overall size for a 10-furrow fully-mounted implement.

Plough length though, is safely managed during transport thanks to Kverneland’s innovative TTS – Trailer Transport System. This clever headstock design, found on many other Kverneland plough models, enables the Ecomat to be towed like a trailer.

APP TO END SPARE-PART SELECTION MISERY

A new product recognition app from spareparts and agricultural accessories specialist Kramp aims to bring an end to the ‘selection frustration’ of choosing the correct spare part or replacement component.

Simply by taking a photo of the item in question, customers can use the tool to identify the part and its catalogue number, enabling rapid ordering – 24/7 –and delivery straight to the dealer.

“Picture the scene: a crucial component’s failed, fieldwork’s come to a halt, and you’re trying to identify the correct replacement from six possibilities, while the deadline for next-day delivery draws closer by the minute,” said Gene Orchard, Kramp product specialist.

“It’s intensely frustrating if incorrect selection results in the arrival of the wrong part.”

Kramp’s new tool uses artificial intelligence to scan and analyse an object in a photo. Currently still in a beta version, the recognition engine tries to match the object against more than 500,000 items from the Kramp catalogue. If the user has an account with Kramp, the parts can be ordered immediately for next-day delivery to a dealer.

“In addition to the AI recognition, the app will also scan barcodes,” Gene continued, “which provides an alternative route for product identification and ordering, all through the same, easy-to-use interface.

“The app also supports sharing of product pages via email or WhatsApp, enabling queries

to be checked and discussed with a dealer, before confirming an order,” he added.

Kramp’s app can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play. It can be used by anyone, but full functionality – and the next-day delivery to any of Kramp’s 1200+ UK dealer locations – is only available to registered account holders.

TO GROUND SPREADING OPERATIONS

Trelleborg has stepped up to meet the growing demands of farmers looking to increase reliability and productivity in their ground spreading operations, with the release of its newest steel belted tyre, the MPT100. Conceived for municipality and transport applications, the radial tyre is specifically for use on multi-purpose vehicles and fertiliser trucks used in ground spreading.

Alessio Bucci, Product Marketing Senior Manager at Trelleborg Wheel Systems, said: “Trelleborg turned to the latest fleet machinery

for inspiration in creating the MPT100 tyre, which was designed for both field and road surfaces. The MPT100 tyre ensures excellent stability and greater wear resistance, while its flat tread crown reduces soil compaction. The tyre goes even further by providing for optimal self-cleaning as well, due to its carefully crafted inter-lug terraces that enable mud ejection and prevent the tread from clogging even in intensely muddy conditions; this way farmers can rely on a tyre that’s always working at top efficiency.”

Ground spreading calls for higher horsepower

and high loads and the MPT100 is proven to handle the intense demands of even the toughest operations. Minimising vibration and maximising roadability, while allowing for some of the highest load ratings on the market, the tyres support an additional 1,100kg tyre rating even when running at speeds of 90 kilometers per hour.

The Trelleborg MPT100 is available in three sizes: 405/70R20, 425/75R20 and 445/65R22.5.

PERFORMANCE AND COMFORT UPDATE

For the 2023 model year, the Scorpion telehandlers from Claas will receive a comprehensive facelift. In addition to improvements in operator comfort, the smaller models also have new engines with more engine power.

Claas has had telehandlers in its product range since 1994 and from 2019, the machines have been developed and built in cooperation with Liebherr. Six models with 143 and 156 hp engines currently cover a range from 7.5 to 11.7 t operating weight, 7.0 to almost 9.0 m stacking height and 3,200 to 6,000 kg lifting capacity.

INCREASED PERFORMANCE

The entire Scorpion model series from Claas is

equipped with efficient, powerful four-cylinder engines from Deutz. For the 2023 model year, the 3.6 l Stage V engine in the Scorpion 732, 736, 741 and 746 models has been optimised for greater efficiency and performance in cooperation with Liebherr. As a result, the Scorpion 732, 736, 741 and 746 models each have 50 Nm more torque and an increase in power output of 6hp. The compact engines remain economical in operation and maintenance, as usual, and are characterized by low maintenance requirements.

The Scorpion 741, 736 and 732 models have been fitted with the hydrostatic Varipower 2 drive from the Claas Jaguar since 2021. The compact drive unit with its highly efficient, high-torque twin motor ensures a long service life, further improved

drive efficiency and a lower noise level on the road. The driver has three driving ranges available – 0 to 20 km/h, 0 to 30 km/h and 0 to 40 km/h – which can be preselected with the press of a thumb, with a maximum speed of 40 km/h. The final speed is reached at a reduced, fuel-saving engine speed. The braking behaviour of all Scorpion has been further optimised by new components such as the brake valve and brake pedal along with new software tuning. An automatic parking brake is standard as a braking assistant for uphill and downhill gradients, which prevents the machine from rolling away.

SMART LOADING

Claas Scorpion telescopic handlers are known

WHAT’S NEW

for their sensitive working hydraulics on the telescopic arm and attachment, which is achieved, for example, by the standard end position damping. For even faster and more convenient loading cycles, the larger Scorpion 960 to 746 models are equipped with automatic telescopic boom arm retraction when lowering. Together with the optional automatic bucket return, loading cycles are child’s play for the driver. From now on, all Scorpion models will also have regenerative working hydraulics. The load-free lowering is decoupled from the engine speed and the speed adjustment dependent on the joystick deflection also reduces the noise level and fuel consumption. When attaching and detaching implements, drivers benefit from optimized pressure relief for safer and faster implement changes.

REVISED CAB WITH NEW AIR CONDITIONING

The cab on the Scorpion has also been further developed. A new air conditioning system with increased air volume improves driving comfort, especially on hot days. A new, angle- and heightadjustable steering column with automatic indicator reset optimises ergonomics and ensures

greater safety when driving on the road. In addition, the steering mode switchover has been optimised so that the four steering modes can be set even more reliably and precisely.

All news and innovations at a glance:

• New, efficient Deutz four-cylinder engines with

6 HP more power optimised by Liebherr for Scorpion 732, 736, 741 and 746.

• Optimised braking behaviour and brake

assistant for all Scorpion series.

• Automatic boom retraction for Scorpion 960 to 746.

• Regenerative working hydraulics for faster loading cycles and maximum fuel efficiency with reduced noise levels.

• Cab with new, more efficient air conditioning and ergonomic steering column with indicator reset.

EASIER ASSURANCE RECORDS

Field and farm management app fieldmargin has added new features to help users comply with assurance schemes and regulatory requirements.

Records can now be annotated with weather, the start and finish times for each task, and the operator or team member who carried it out.

“There’s more to farm records than simply keeping track of progress, or analysing performance,” said Head of Product Camilla Hayselden-Ashby.

“Farm assurance and new regulations, be they legal obligations or environmental requirements, also rely on good record-keeping. Assessors and watchdogs expect farmers to have quick and easy access to this type of information,” Camilla pointed out.

The new features, now available on fieldmargin’s web, iOS and Android apps allow users to record wind speed, direction, temperature and other weather factors for each field task completed. Start and finish times for each operation can also be added, while the app will also record which user was responsible for the completion of each task.

Data can be uploaded retrospectively, said

Camilla. “We’ve all been there – you’re in such a rush to get something done before the weather changes that any delay – even the couple of minutes it takes to open the app and record the information there and then – feels like too much.”

Camilla said the new data features comply with farm assurance requirements for schemes from the likes of Global GAP, Red Tractor, Soil Association, Organic Farmers and Grower, and various supermarket protocols and marketing initiatives.

“fieldmargin has always been about streamlining farm record-keeping, bringing together vital information into one, single location. New features are always based on what our farmer user-base say they want.

“We hope this new update will not only help with the overall objective – allowing users to make better, more informed farming decisions – but also the practical demands of preparing for assurance or regulatory inspections and farm audits.”

RECOGNISING THE ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN SUSTAINABLE DAIRY

Arla begins accepting automated mobility scores

Arla UK 360 farmer owners can now adopt automated technology in place of human scoring to monitor cow mobility.

This latest update to the Arla UK 360 programme is a result of the ‘Automated Outcome Measures Project’ which took place on ten Arla farms, including Arla’s dedicated UK Innovation Farm, over the past two years.

Recognising the potential that automated technology could have to the earlier identification of lameness, the project worked with Agsenze to test its 3D motion imaging HerdVision cameras. These use algorithmicbased data interpretation to track the movement of cows every time they travel down a race to or from the milking parlour, recording individual mobility and body condition scores automatically.

The trial worked with Arla UK 360 farmer owners to find ways of integrating the technology with existing on-farm EID systems, as well as finding optimum positioning, networking and scoring accuracy on a wide range of farm situations. Arla’s UK 360 farmer owners were uniquely placed to take part in the project given their focus to continuously explore and develop new R&D projects and wider innovation to lead the dairy agenda of the future.

“Within the Arla UK 360 programme, we are always looking to develop innovative farming practices that can benefit everyone, so we were keen to test the impact that regular, automated mobility tracking technology could have on lameness prevention.” explains Arla CARE, Farmer Owned, and Innovation Farm Manager, Rowan Boardley. “As well reducing labour input, this type of technology also provides standardised and objective scores which is beneficial from a health and welfare auditing perspective.”

“We found that the cow mobility issues were flagged quickly, allowing farmers and vets to intervene at the earliest possible stage and prevent the development of acute cases of lameness. Arla’s farmer owners taking part in the trial also reported the benefit of cows being monitored free from human interference, which can influence cow behaviour and make manual mobility scoring more challenging.”

The Agsenze technology has been validated and approved for use by Arla UK 360 farmer owners who can now submit automated mobility scores in place of human scores if they wish, with scores being validated once a year by an

external vet as part of their UK 360 audit.

“We are committed to investigating the use of new technology to help drive our industry forward, in a sustainable way,” concludes Rowan. “We need to keep productive cows in their respective herds for as long as possible and using automated systems to help detect and prevent cases of lameness is just one of the ways we can help our dairy producers achieve this.”

Farmer owners using other systems are being encouraged to contact Arla with a view to getting their technology validated for Arla UK 360 data submissions.

UNCOMPROMISING PERFORMANCE

Claas is renewing its medium-sized Torion series with the introduction of the new 1285, 1611 and 1611 P models. In addition to more engine and hydrostatic drive power, the wheel loaders are characterized by a new Z-kinematic with stronger lift arms and unique comfort features.

Since 2018, Claas has been offering wheel loaders for the agricultural sector in numerous European markets through a cooperation with Liebherr. Three series with a total of 11 models cover operating weights from 4.6 t to 20 t and engine outputs from 46hp to 245hp. To date, more than 1,000 units have been delivered to satisfied customers.

NEW MAST WITH Z-KINEMATICS AND MORE SHOVEL VOLUME

After the two flagships of the Torion construction program, the Torion 1913 and 2014,

received higher lifting and holding capacity in addition to greater loading height in 2021, these performance-enhancing features are now finding their way into the medium-sized Torion series. In addition to its first-class reactivity, the newly developed Z-kinematic is characterized by reinforced and lengthened lifting arms with larger hydraulic rams and more powerful hydraulic pumps. This increases the lifting power and transfer height, with 100% parallel guidance being guaranteed at the touch of a button. Thanks to the new Z-kinematics, there is significantly more lifting power, especially in the lower lifting range, as well as more holding power in the upper lifting range, so that larger bucket volumes and heavier bale grabs can be used. Lift volumes up to 4.5m3 with a high bulk density and up to 7.0m3 with a low bulk density are available with the light goods bucket, and up to 4.5m3 with the high-tip bucket.

In order to be able to absorb the higher lifting

and breakout forces, the steel construction of the front end has been reinforced. The new mast includes extra reinforcing, for example on the lift arms and the cross tube. At the same time, the axles on the Torion 1611 and 1611 P have also been reinforced. The operating weight increases accordingly to 15,810kg and 15,200kg respectively. The Torion 1285 has an operating weight of 13,570kg.

In addition to the standard version with Z-kinematics, all three models can be supplied with HIGH LIFT masts. Depending on the model, the bucket pivot point increases by 52cm to 58cm to 3.85m to 4.52m.

UNCOMPOMISING LOADING COMFORT

However, the new medium-sized TORION series is not only strong, but also smart. In addition to the bucket return, the upper and lower end positions

of the mast can be saved for two implements using the automatic lifting height and lowering depth control. The tipping assistant provides further relief. To make billing easier for biogas plants and contractors, all models can be equipped with a weighing device with Load Assistance System, i.e. addition memory and back-weighing function.

The shaking function, which allows the bucket to be unloaded in a controlled manner, offers considerable added value. The automatic return of the HL high-tip bucket and the perfectly coordinated end position damping relieve the driver and enable fast loading manoeuvres.

STRONG PROPULSION FOR FASTER LOADING

In order to enable faster cycle times with increased payload and higher operating weight, all three Torion models in the middle series have greater engine power and larger drive pumps and hydrostats for the Varipower drive. The Torion 1285 with its 157 hp replaces the previous Torion 1177 and 1410 models with 137 and 165 hp respectively, while the Torion 1611 has an increase in output to 207 hp (+23 hp compared to the previous Torion 1511) and the Torion 1611 P has an increase in output of 45 hp to 252 hp. Thanks to the speed reduction, a higher torque is already available at low speeds. The Torion 1611 P in particular benefits

from this, as the additional output is noticeable and pays off, especially when working in silos and for fast straw handling.

The more powerful components in the travel drive result in more traction and further improved driving dynamics. This and the use of the demanddependent Dynamic Cooling engine cooling makes it possible to significantly increase the charging capacity with the same low fuel consumption. Nevertheless, the travel drive, which can be used in three driving ranges, can still be controlled

extremely sensitively, with both axial piston pumps being connected in series for maximum traction in driving ranges I and II. Thanks to the cruise control with speed memory, precise, comfortable work with hydraulic permanent consumers such as silo distributors and brooms is possible. For driving on the road in driving range III, only one pump is used and the engine speed is also lowered via Smart Roading (Torion 1611 P: 40 km/h at 1,600 rpm), which significantly reduces fuel consumption.

SIMPLIFIED APPLICATIONS WITHOUT COMPROMISING

The 2022 Farm Sprayer Operator of the Year said the technology packed into his John Deere R962i has simplified applications without compromising on the size of the tank.

Steve May, arable foreman at Fromant and Sanders in Kislingbury, Northamptonshire, has a 6,200 litre tank and 36m boom on his trailed machine, pulled by a 6215R AutoPowr.

The biggest trailed John Deere sprayer available at the time of purchase in 2019, Steve opted to stay loyal to the brand after being impressed with his previous model, the M740.

“The R-series sprayers are already high spec, so a lot of the features I needed came as standard,” he said. “This is our third John Deere sprayer, but this one was a big step up in terms of technology, size and width.”

Twin Select nozzles, one fixed and one quad

rotating, means that Steve can alternate between them from the cab, cutting down on the manual changes.

He has been particularly impressed with the PowrSpray system, which boasts separate pumps for filling and spraying. “The filling system on this sprayer is just fantastic,” he said.

“The filling pump has a 1,200 litre/min capacity, so I can fill the tank in around five minutes,” he explained.

Setting how much water he wants on the screen, Steve can depend on the system to fill the sprayer on its own, and he has the option to use the ‘active pause’ function to slow the speed of filling while the chemicals are added.

Altogether Steve sprays 810ha, which is split between the home farm and contracted work and crops grown include wheat, barley, oats, oilseed rape and beans.

“The tractor and sprayer both being John Deere

Award-winning sprayer operator explains how John Deere technology has improved accuracy and efficiency.

means everything is integrated really nicely, which makes my life easier,” he said.

“I use the tractor’s Greenstar RTK guidance to put the tramlines in, which means I can spray everything with autosteer,” Steve said.

Previously, Steve worked on SF1, meaning he had to correct the guidance lines as he worked. “Now they are perfect throughout the season,” he said.

The 6215R is fitted with 710/70 R42 tyres for the winter and 480/80 R46 rubber in the summer. The sprayer has 710/70 R38 spec for the winter and runs on 420/80 R46s in the summer.

Overall, Steve has been impressed with the R962i’s performance.

“The technology is very clever but on a simpler level it’s easily manoeuvrable for such a large implement, and the axle suspension smooths out the ride.”

Steve has been so impressed that the farm has already placed an order for John Deere’s new R975i which has a 7,500-litre tank and is expected to arrive on farm in time for 2023 spring spraying.

“It’s pretty much the same machine, it just has a bigger tank which will give us a bit more capacity, particularly in the autumn when we’re doing pre-emergence,” Steve said.

“We’re putting 200l per hectare on when we’re spraying pre-emergence herbicides so obviously the more liquid I can get in the tank, the further I can get around in a day.

“I think the new sprayer comes in somewhere around 90 acres per tank load, whereas our current model does 75 acres per tank load.”

Tank size is key because he needs the capacity to avoid having to make journeys back to base to refill.

Although there are a couple of satellite water tanks at his disposal, not having to rely on them so much will provide a significant time saving.

Steve fought off stiff competition to be named Farm Sprayer Operator of the Year, securing his win after impressing the judges in all three rounds.

“It’s not really about driving a tractor or sprayer – it’s about having the knowledge and ability to do the best job you can with what you’ve got,” he explained.

“The judges focus on how you set up your equipment, processes and paperwork to be as precise as possible, because this leads to efficiency, which in turn leads to environmental gains.

“Finding out I had won was fantastic.”

Steve is BASIS and FACTS qualified, and made the final six of the Syngenta-organised competition in 2018 but 2022 was the first time he has taken the top prize which includes a trophy and a trip to Agritechnica 2023.

NEW TECHNOLOGY MEASURES AND MONITORS

REAL-TIME VIBRATION

The firm behind HAVSPRO, a newly evolved solution for the accurate, real-time measurement and monitoring of workplace vibration, is expanding its workforce to meet the demand for its product from a variety of sectors, including Local Government, manufacturing, engineering and agriculture.

In its first six months of operation, Derbyshirebased HAVSPRO has grown its team by 50%, across both production and sales functions, and turnover has reached almost £1m. To help the company cope with this influx of interest and orders for its industry-leading product, recruitment is continuing, to ensure further expected growth can be managed.

HAVSPRO has been developed by SIXIS Technology, part of the Simpatica Group, from over 20 years of experience in the field of remote monitoring. Created with both the safety of operators and the protection of employers in mind, the new technology measures and monitors real-time vibration magnitude as users operate vibrating tools, which drives proactive exposure alerts before the user reaches their limit.

With an estimated two million UK workers exposed to the risk of debilitating injuries from Hand Arm Vibration exposure, HAVSPRO is a vital piece of PPE in delivering a healthier, safer workplace, through reliable data providing a proactive, evidence-based decision making.

Recent significant interest in HAVSPRO’s unique solution, which sits on the tool and not the wrist, has led to a flurry of enquiries from a wide range of sectors and industrieswho see the benefits of protecting both their workforce from the far-reaching effects of Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) and Whole-Body Vibration (WBV) and minimising the risk of corporate litigation.

Notably, the HAVSPRO system has been incorporated into one of Europe’s largest construction projects, where more than 1,000 of main contractor, Laing O’Rourke’s

workforce are benefiting from accurate real-time monitoring of the risk of exposure to excessive tool vibration. According to client feedback, the biggest success factor for the HAVSPRO system is the ease with which operators can implement the system, as they simply click the sensor on and off the tool they are using.

Russ Langthorne, Managing Director of HAVSPRO, is pleased but unsurprised by this huge growth in awareness of the potential problems created by HAVS and WBV; “We are delighted that companies in all sectors now feel they have a vibration risk management system that goes a long way to proactively protecting their workforce from these life altering conditions. The added benefit of protecting companies from costly litigations, as we have seen recently, is also a key driver to the continued increase in interest in the HASVSPRO system. We look forward to working with many other organisations in managing the risk of vibration exposure and protecting their staff as effectively as possible.”

GLAD TO BE BACK

It was such a good feeling to be back at The Great Dorset Steam Fair the largest show of its kind in the world today. I was pleased to be able to welcome readers to our Kelsey Media stand during the five-day show.

With good sunshine on the Friday I was able to head to Stuart Cotton’s tractor section. The tractors were superb and helped by Bill Shaw’s International Harvester & Case Club UK members’ stand, which were good to see.

As I was taking my pictures I listened to the very professional, entertaining and informative commentary in the parade ring, although there were a few faux pas, on the whole it was very good. However the standard of tractor rally commentary across the land has generally rather gone downhill in the last few years I would say. The latest idea is to have the owners drive around and around the parade ring without a commentary. The tractors are then lined up when the commentator who basically knows nothing much about tractors chats to the owner who in some cases knows even less than he does!

By this time the punter has walked away from the parade ring he is so bored from the not so professional presentation, which can reflect badly

on the event and its organisation. I find you have to make the commentary humorous and factual to keep people on their toes and they want to stay and hear more, as in all cases preparation is the key to success.

The Stuart Cotton Millennium shield this year went to Phil Thompson’s lovely 1951 Turner Yeoman of England Mk II that’s been recently restored. For the Symington 12-25 Trophy it was collected by the Doug Palmer family for the former Ted Goldup 1915 Overtime R which has been in preservation since 1961 and was on our Kelsey stand at the GDSF 2018 show. The tractor has just been repainted by Doug in Craftsman Paints who were plugging it on their facebook site even though they did not have a stand at the show!

Moving onto the Classic Tractor Books Trophy this went to Sarah Tween who puts lots of effort into her outfits and her 1963 Massey Ferguson 35. The Rob Coombs Cup went to Ben Monksummers and his lovely sparkling Persian Orange 1936 Allis-Chalmers U. The Ford Award went to Andrew Isaac from Pontyclun, Wales and his North American Ford 1954 Jubilee NAA.

Nick Jones from Westfield, East Sussex took the Ferguson Award with his French St Denis built 1958 Ferguson FF30DS. The Stewards Award went to Jeremy Vick from Clanfield and his very late Italian single-

cylinder 1956 Landini L25. The overseas award went to Eddie Spencer, County Kilkenny and his very tidy 1947 John Deere M and the John Hall Fordson Shield went to Tom Bryne and his 1955 Roadless J17. I am glad to report that his father Nick who was on one of his superbly restored Fordson Ns has made a full recovery following his major operation and it was good to see him at the show.

Wow! The Ford FW-30 monster stood up there, it was made by Steiger at their Fargo, North Dakota works and today they still make tractors under the CNH banner

Chris Spooner from Launceston, Cornwall showed his lovely 1965 B614 in the special International Harvester feature

Winner of the Ferguson Shield was Mick Jones from East Sussex with his Saint Denis, Paris made 1957 HotchkissFerguson FF30DS

From Sevenoaks, Kent came Russell Watts and his lovely ex Kent County Council 1978 MF 20

‘Flamingo’ the very special Lenfield of Maidstone 1973 MF 135, one of ten they made for high crop spraying, owned by Tim Child from Child Okeford

Jorgan Larson from Kenilworth presented his German made, but sold in the UK in the 1960s, International 523 fourwheel drive

For this month Peter Love looks at two big shows that took place in the UK during August and looks at two very interesting sales coming up in October.

A BIG SUCCESS

My big complaint about TractorFest, Biddenden over the years has been there have not been enough tractors attending this event to actually call it a proper tractor festival. After all the June Tractor Fest at Newby Hall, Ripon, North Yorkshire had approximately 900 tractors attending and that is a fact!

Well that changed here in 2022 when the 14,000 punters who paid to attend this event actually saw over 200 tractors on site, which was wonderful to see together especially in Kent and there were a number of firsts. Under the oversight of the Kent Agricultural Society and lead by Lucy the former Kent County Show secretary and the many Biddenden helpers. The whole show was certainly on a different footing than ever before and was back on its original site giving it another plus.

I could tell there was a great atmosphere here as I meandered by all the trade stands and down to look at the tractors and machinery in the far right field. On my way I saw huge queues at all the food outlets, there were simply not enough of them to cope with the huge demand. I could only find one fresh food stand that had to go back to their farm shop to cook three more batches of sausage rolls as they had sold out of nearly everything.

We were greeted by a stunning display of Ferguson tractors not seen in this area for decades, mostly from the Lee Blackford collection in such original condition. What was so good to see was that on each of the tractors was an information log sheet that had been properly filled in, which is so important for visitors at the show to read and know what they are looking at.

John Burdfield’s rare restored Massey Ferguson188

four-wheel drive was a treat which contrasted with Barry Leggatt’s also restored Ferguson TE20 and not far away was Michael Smallbone’s lovely 1989 Trantor Mk2.

The Fords and Fordson Association had a fine stand under Rodney Gibson who signed up 14 new members at the show and The Friends of Ferguson Heritage under Simon Wright did well also.

Simon had his lovely just restored 1972 Massey Ferguson 1150 here and was joined in the ring by Mick Blunt’s 1970 example, to have two of these very large prairie Massey’s in the same ring was something else and was certainly unique in 2022.

Making its debut at the show was Liam Bank’s well executed 1960 Fordson E1A Major industrial with Holman compressor made in Cornwall on the backend. The paint smelt very new having only been sparyed by Liam on the Monday evening before the show.

Undoubtedly the star tractor was the Hanks family 1963 Fordson New Performance Doe which has lived in Kent for many decades now and still looks just as good as it did 20 years ago in previous ownership.

But the real star was the even more rare Frank Thornton designed 1967 Northrop 5004 equal wheeled tractor of which approximately 120 were made. It’s based on a Ford PreForce 5000 and cost £1,980 when introduced new in 1965. Although it needs some work it was great to see an example here that worked in a timber yard by all accounts and is today owned by Ross Douglas.

All in all a very successful professional charity show enjoyed by all and so well put together. If it stays on this site it would be good to have some musical entertainment for the exhibitors on the Saturday evening at least. Congratulations to everyone involved.

JOHN DEERE TOPS AT EURO AUCTIONS

The latest Euro Auction sale saw just over 5,000 lots go under the hammer at their base near Leeds between 3-5 August. As ever, there was a huge array of plant equipment on offer along with a large number of sundries that ranged from excavator buckets to generators. But it’s the tractors that are the main attraction for many, where new machines are sold along with older models. Condition can vary considerably as can the prices, but that is usual at a Euro Auctions sale.

First up were the crawler tractors, where a 2001 Case STX440 Quad Track came out on top when it sold for £37,000. There was a large selection of John Deere tractors, starting with a 6195R from 2015 grade 10 which sold for £44,000. That was followed by a superb selection of 6155Rs from 2017. All sold well in grade 10 condition, with the top price of £47,500 grade 11 the others being just £1,000 or so behind in grade 10.

They were followed by a series of 6150Rs where a 2015 model, that was fitted with a H360 front loader, sold for £36,000 which was the highest price, while at the other end of the market, a

2001 JD 6610 sold for £11,000 but still in grade 10 condition.

Coming out on top among a handful of Valtra tractors was a T214 from 2014 that was in grade 11 condition and sold for £43,500. That was followed by a T16B from 2013 which made £20,500 grade 10; while a 2007 Valtra T160 went on to sell for £13,000 grade 10.

There were a number of JCB Fastracs on offer too, the most expensive being a 3230 from 2012 that made £31,500 while a 3200 from a couple of years earlier made £21,000 both in grade 10 condition.

They were followed by a 2013 Case Puma 160 that had the benefit of being fitted with a Quicke Q65 loader in grade 10.5 condition sold for £25,000 while a similar condition 2011 Puma 180 raised £26,000.

A 2009 New Holland T7060 sold for £24,000 grade 10. The best in the blue Ford line was a 4630 fitted with a Loadmaster loader and bale grab; with just 790 hours on the clock in grade 10 condition it was yours for £10,500, while another 4630, this time dating from 1993, made £7,250 grade 9.7.

There was a strong selection of Massey Ferguson tractors where a 2008 MF 6485 turned out to be the most expensive when it sold for £20,500 grade 10. It was followed by a 4297 from 2014 that had only 207 hours on the clock grade 10 and sold for £14,750. A series of 4291s from 2014 all sold for around the £15,000 mark. All had relatively low hours behind them, typically ranging from 349 to 768, and were in great grade 11 condition. Other tractors bearing the MF name included a 6480 DYNA-6 from 2008 that was fitted with a Trima loader. It went on to sell for £13,500 grade 10, while a 6480 from 2006 fell just short of that price when it went for £13,000.

And finally, after a 2009 New Holland T7060 sold for £24,000, a couple of Deutz Fahr tractors came up for sale that were fitted with a Quicke loader. The first was a 2012 Agrotron K430 that went on to sell for £18,000, while a 2008 Agrofarm 100GS managed to sell for £15,000. As ever, this sale was a varied affair, with newer machines rubbing shoulders with their older counterparts, something to expect Euro Auctions.

This Ford 4630 was in good shape and was fitted with a Loadmaster loader & bale grab. With 790 hours on the clock, it sold for £10,500 grade 10

In good condition, this 2009 New Holland T7060 four-wheel drive found a new home when it sold for £24,000 grade 10

This 2011 Case Puma 180 fourwheel drive looked to be in very good shape and went on to sell for £26,000 grade 10.5.

This 2010 JCB Fastrac 3200 was in good shape overall and sold for £21,000 another grade 10

This grade 10 2001 Case STX440 Quad Track crawler tractor was in good shape and was a popular lot £37,000

A 2015 John Deere 6195R four-wheel drive was in superb condition and duly went on to sell for £44,000 grade 10

The best of a series of 2017 John Deere 6155Rs grade 11 was this example that was in excellent condition and sold for £47,500, making it the most expensive tractor in the sale

The best of the JCB Fastracs in the sale was this 3230 that dated from 2012. In good working order, it sold for £31,500 grade 10
