WIDER F-DRILL

PÖTTINGER: New arable and grass kit • New options for the Plano cultivator, a new 3.0m drill and an update on the Puro precision drill were the arable highlights at Pöttinger’s Austrian field event. Grass machinery eye-catchers included two forage wagons and an auto swathing mower.

Fendt 942 Vario Gen6: Onto a winner here Trig! • When Fendt took the wraps off its revised 900-series in 2019, the 415hp flagship 942 pushed the firm’s 900-series well over 400hp for the first time. With an all-new transmission and a change of engine, our test team hoped it could be a game-changer for its business. So, after seven years and almost 11,000 hours, how has this 942 Vario fared?

USER EXPERIENCE

Claas Axion 8: Fresh Ax from the forge • The freshening up of the Claas tractor range continues, with the five-model Axion 800 making way for a trio of Axion 8s. We climb into the cab of the range-topping 8.290.

Kuhn Megant tine drills: Same name, same drills? • Kuhn introduced its mounted Megant tine coulter drills back in 2007 in working widths initially spanning 4.0m to 6.0m. Fast forward to 2026, and the Megant evolved into the current three-model 6.00m, 7.20m and 8.00m range. As a used buyer, working width is a starting point, but there are developments to consider.

Milwaukee M12 Fuel FCOT-422X cordless cut-off tool: Tight chopping • Cutting hydraulic pipes in confined spaces? Often not an easy task. The Milwaukee multi-material cutter offers a solution. We put it to the test.
