The Tractor of the Year (TOTY) 2025 awards were announced at EIMA International last week in Bologna, Italy, where Case IH, Fendt, Steyr, Antonio Carraro and AgXeed all claimed TOTY accolades.

A tractor run in support of a small rural school takes place later in November.

Massey Ferguson is set to attend the FTMTA Show with a full line-up of S Series tractors and its latest grass equipment, including the new RK 762 TRC twin rotor rake.

Valtra aims to satisfy all showgoers, with a taster of tractors from its G, N, T and Q tractors from 135hp to 265hp.

Massey Ferguson’s new 5M Series replaces the outgoing 5700 M range and now includes six models from 95hp up to the new, flagship 145hp model. Peter Thomas Keaveney reports.
