WATCH LAMMA LIVE:
Fendt 50th Anniversary 720 Vario
Delivered in a unique gold wrap to celebrate 50 years of Fendt's UK operation. Started in 1974 by Gloucestershire-based importers Bill Bennet Engineering, the business sold 48 tractors in its first year. The 720 Vario Gen 6 on the show is a mid-range model in the manufacturer's popular 700 series with a maximum power output of 201hp.
Bailey Trailers Charity trailer
The difficult-to-ignore striking pink colour of Bailey Trailer's 15-tonne TB trailer is the result of a charity fundraising campaign for Breast Cancer Now, raising over £36,000. The manufacturer has raffled the trailer through its Win it in Pink campaign operated through its dealer network. The winner was announced earlier in December with a handover taking place at the event. The exact specification of the trailer was modified to suit the new owner's requirements, which included silage sides.
Pottinger Jumbo 8000 forage wagon
Pottinger showed the Jumbo 8000 forage wagon, with a range of three models with DIN volumes of 40 cu.m, 47 cu.m and 54 cu.m. These models are capable of handling torque of 3,500Nm and up to 500hp for high throughput and feature a hydraulically floating 2.three-metre pick-up to handle larger swaths. The 65-knife chopping system gives a theoretical chopped length of 25mm for faster distribution and compaction of the crop in the clamp. The Autocut automatic knife sharpening system can be used on these machines, despite the 25mm knife spacing, and is electro-hydraulically driven for reduced sharpening times.

Kioti K9 UTV
Kioti's new K9 2410 UTV features an upgraded CVT transmission to give a 50 km/h road speed plus speed-proportional electric power-steering (EPS) and an engine brake as part of the standard spec. It retains the 1007cc Kioti diesel engine used in other 2400 models.
The 2410 is available with either a climate-controlled factory fit cabin, a ROPS frame with door, windscreen and canopy options, or a retro fit field cabin. As standard the K9 2410 is available in Kioti red, with the option of green.
Independent wishbone suspension improves performance on rutted or undulating ground. The polyurethane lined tipping bed with electric assist has a capacity of 500kg, cab comforts include a rubber floormat and seat headrests.
Stoll IsoBus loader
Lynx Engineering showed the prototype Stoll IsoBus loader, out for evaluation with its OEM customers this spring ahead of commercial availability. The loader connects to the tractor's Power Beyond, while an electronic IsoBus system links into the factory joystick and screen.
Sensors in the loader frame provide data for accurate electro-hydraulic self-levelling, and other features include pressure regulation for attachments such as a bale squeezer, and ‘teach-in' which can store a loading sequence for repetitive jobs such as bale stacking. The loader also offers benefits more commonly associated with a telehandler such as vibration damping and boom suspension and a built-in weigh cell which can count up or down to a set load. The loader will be offered in a range of models to suit tractors with IsoBus controls.
McHale ProPel tedder
McHale presented its new ProPel range of tedders, consisting of the mounted M6-770 - which has six rotors with a working width of 7.7m and the eight-rotor 100.2m trailed T8-1020.
A central pivoting point on the ProPel M6-770 connects the headstock to the chassis for effective re-centring on slopes and reduces the machine overhang. The trailed T8 tedder is coupled to the tractor by a two-point linkage headstock. By pivoting the machine behind the headstock, it can follow very closely behind the tractor to navigate difficult to access areas.
McHale tedders have 1.54m diameter rotors that are equipped with seven tine arms, supporting double hooked tines for a clean, even lift and distribution of crop. The angle and height of the rotors can be adjusted if required.
The optional headland management system allows the tedder to operate at full working width at all times as the crop is deflected away from the edge of the field to allow for easy raking. When operating in hay, it can also indicate which areas have already been tedded.
Kubota telehandler
After a successful foray into the wheeled loader market with its RO range and smaller machines from partner Tobroco, Kubota now offers a compact telehandler. The KTH 4815-2 lifts 1.5 tonnes and has a maximum lift height of 4.8m at 1.6-metre wide and 1.8m tall it should appeal to pig or poultry or glasshouse customers. Power is supplied by a 44hp Stage V Kubota engine, with a hydrostatic drive to Carraro axles, and 25km/h maximum speed. Versions range from a ROPS model which at six tonnes is light enough to go on a trailer, but the company expects the full cab, air-conditioned model to be the most popular in the UK. A range of linkages are available.
Case IH Farmlift
Case IH has updated its Farmlift telehandler range and showed the 742 which offers a lift capacity of 4.2m with a maximum lift height of 7m. Power is provided by a 146hp 4.5 litre NEF Stage V engine and with 6X3 powershift transmission extended through the range. Hydraulic performance has been improved with 160l/min output for faster cycle times and a suite of new hydraulic features including return to position, bucket shake and adjustable boom response and shuttling. A redesign of the engine hood is said to improve visibility, while a new 7in colour screen displays machine settings and acts as a monitor for the optional rear camera.
New Bunning Trailer Range
After an interval of 14 years, increased capacity at its Norfolk factory means that Bunning can return to trailer production, with a new range of 14, 16, 18, 20 tonne models, with tapered body and options including silage sides and rollover sheets. Using a 300mm deep chassis for strength, the company has opted for clean lines in in the body, using straight through folding and pressing and minimising extra ribs. Top rail size has however, been increased. Standard spec on a 16-tonne trailer is air over hydraulic brakes with load sensing and 26-tonne leaf spring suspensions. ADR 127mm 420 x180 commercial axles are fitted. Dump and low loader trailers are to follow.
Deutz-Fahr 6170 TTV Tractor
It was a first UK showing for Deutz-Fahr's 6170 TTV, the six-cylinder 170hp model featuring the company's new ZF Terramatic CVT transmission. Upgrades added at the same time include a 400-litre fuel tank and a choice of spec packages. The Maxivision Plus, for example, brings two mechanical and two electronic spools, whereas the all-electric Pro version adds the full armrest with Topcon-derived iMonitor. Deutz-Fahr has also upgraded the shuttle lever, with a centre detent allowing it to be used in conjunction with the armrest lever. New options include the three-tonne front linkage moulded casting.
Trioliet Triotrac X-Range
Trioliet introduced the Triotrac X-Range self-propelled diet feeder, equipped with a cutter loader system with cutting heights up to 8m and 32cu.m capacity. The X-Range is powered by a 270hp FPT engine which slides out of the chassis for servicing and has four-wheel steering allowing the 14.5m long unit to crab up to the clamp side where space is restricted. Twin augers with 22/25mm flights are fed from the front conveyor via an auger with heavy duty planetary drive; a 1.0m wide conveyor feeds to either side. The use of a rigid cutting system rather than a milling head is said to preserve the clamp face; the height-adjustable operator cab lowers for transport or raises to give an improved view of both the head and the mixing tub.
