Amazone Tyrok 400V 6+1 plough: Really good work … • … but some cause for criticism. The semi-mounted Tyrok reversible, with new STW35 slatted bodies, reached its limits with us in just the one set of conditions. And its handling and operation were equally impressive.

Fendt 900 Vario MT: More than fresh paint • Arriving on UK farms from early 2018, the Fendt 900 Vario MT twin track models that replaced the Challenger MT700E series initially looked like a stylish upgrade with ‘just’ a change to a Vario transmission. Apart from sharing the same cab frame, however, the 900 Vario MT was new from the tracks up. Used examples are just starting to trickle onto the market so if one is on your buying radar, start looking now.
