European tractor market in 2022: Number crunching

Claas Arion 470 CIS+: An agile diesel saver? • The Arion 400 range accounts for around 20% of Claas tractor sales in the UK and Ireland, and, since its 2021 makeover, the range has been topped by the Arion 470 — 107kW/155hp of four-cylinder power in a reasonably lightweight package. Theres a lot to like, as we found out during our full tractor test.

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

Big Bale South Transtacker 4100 bale chaser: Spun, on and gone • Arable farmers wanting to crack on with primary cultivations or establishing a cover crop, want bales cleared quickly and with as few wheelings as possible. Enter the CTF compatible Transtacker 4100 bale chaser which we tested last season.

Bütje BSD 3000P Slot Master grass drill: Slot and seed • Bütje has returned to the grass seeding market with a revised version of its Slot Master, a machine that uses a knife to cut through the sward and open the soil ready for the new seed. We take a closer look.

Kuhn Maxima 3TDE precision planter: Maxima speed • We’ve been using the six-row Maxima 3TDE to see how it performs over an extended period and discover whether it can really achieve consistent precision at speeds of up to 10km/hr. Read on to find out.

CFMoto UForce 600: Affordable utility • With a retail price of just under £10k, the road homologated CFMoto UForce 600 is equipped with EPS power steering, four-wheel drive with diff locks, LED lights, trailer light socket, winch, and a roof as standard. Add optional screens and body protection and the price climbs to £11,055, still undercutting some other models in the nominal 40 to 50hp UTV category. Does this mean corners have been cut to offer value for money?

Spearhead hedgecutters: Spend more to get the best value • In the mid 1990’s, the established order on the UK hedge cutting scene experienced a period of transition, ‘young pretender’ Spearhead launching its 5.0m Twiga 5 and 6.0m Twiga 6 models. The Worcestershire based firm soon took a significant slice of the UK market, with models to suit farm and contract operations.
