Case IH Puma 260 CVXDrive: “Not only the quietest, but… • …also the best Case IH we’ve ever tested.” Read about the new Puma 260 CVXDrive and find out what we liked and what we didn’t.

Three tractors in comparison • This is a comparison of three similar hp tractors that have been tested by profi in past magazines

Four loading shovels from Claas, JCB, New Holland and Volvo: Four in action • After discussing the performance stats of our four loading shovels in the April issue, it’s now all about operation and handling.

Seven ISObus systems compared, Part 1: On the Bus • As part of the test comparison of seven 300hp tractors (see the January and February issues) we also took a closer look at their ISObus systems. Here we discuss how smoothly the various tractor models connect with the implement and how their Aux-N buttons are programmed.

SpreadPoint MK1200 manure spreader: Another point • The MK1200 is the middle model in SpreadPoint’s professional user series. Options extend to items such as weigh cells and variable rate on a 9-15t spreader range that uses a lot of Hardox to minimise weight. We grab the chance for a closer look

Lemken Solitair DT cultivator drill: The big 'un • Lemken has completed its Solitair DT line-up with the addition of a 9.0m model that can tuck itself into a neat sub-3.0m wide, 4.0m high package. We take a look in the field and find out the details.

Bema Sweezy: Wheely power saving • Going back to the old way of doing things, wheels provide the power to spin the bristles on the latest Sweezy from brush maker Bema. This makes these sweepers particularly appealing for battery-powered yard loaders.

BHE Agrotec Pipe Applicator 900: Pipe dream • Relative new machinery maker BHE Agrotec has developed an auger-based slurry distributor. It may look unusual, but it works well … providing the slot size is properly set.

Kubota KTH4815-2 compact telehandler: Small in size, big on features • Kubota is no stranger to the compact telescopic handler market, the company having gained a strong foothold for its 50hp 1.5t capacity KTH4815 in France and Germany. Now the latest Stage V KTH4815-2 is to be made available in the UK and Ireland so we recently got behind the wheel.

Vervaet Hydro Trike self-propelled slurry applicator: Three (or four or five) wheels on your wagon? • Self-propelled slurry applicators may still be a niche market in the UK, but thanks to their wider acceptance in the Netherlands, which pioneered development of this type of equipment, the pool of...
