Ploughing ahead • The Irish Ploughing didn’t fail to produce a good selection of new machines and a chance to catch up. Here is our overview of the latest machinery ware and news.

AGROTECHNIEK HOLLAND 2024: Show buzz • Electric tractors and mechanical hoes headed the news at this year’s AgroTechniek Holland (ATH), but there was plenty of other homegrown kit for the 55,000 visitors to inspect at the popular Dutch show.

Kuhn GA13231 four rotor rake: Living with a clever rake • Last year (profi 08/23) we carried a driving impression of Kuhn’s GA13231 four-rotor rake where it impressed with its advanced control features including section control. Here we take a further look to see how the smart rake performed over an extended period. Are the added control features a real benefit?

Teagle’s front/rear topper lists at £11,190 and offers an overall work width of 4.9m and low power demand. Read on to find out if the good news continues.

Kioti RX 8040PC-GE Powershuttle: Some tricks under modern skin • Kioti has replaced its 73hp RX7330 tractors with the RX8040, the PC-GE model we drive here representing the top model of a range that will ultimately include lower spec cab and roll-bar alternatives. Although the new model shares a great deal with its now well-proven forebear, developments include an all-new five pillar cab and a few productivity enhancing tweaks.

Holmer SecatFlex SL slurry applicator: Digging in the muck • Spreading slurry or digestate into a standing row crop is a specialist task. Holmer has developed its own strip-till hoe for such applications and calls the implement the SecatFlex SL. We find out how the SecatFlex works.
