Under the Hood: from vintage Masseys to modern German collaborations
Advances in technology, new grass kits and the dangers associated with contractors being unfamiliar with the yard they are working in - all in this week's machinery section.
Major steps forward both in technology and in horsepower were launched by the German machinery giant.
The main points of interest are the extension of the Arion 500 and 600 ranges to include the now range-topping Arion 660, producing up to 205hp, and the new range-topping Axion 960, producing a whopping 445hp.

There were also new pieces of grass kit launched and these will be looked at over the coming weeks. With the combines starting to roll around the country, we look at the basics for buying a secondhand combine and the latest technology that can be found on these amazing grain eaters.
Paul Cooke Auctions has been instructed by a private collector to sell more than 40 vintage tractors by unreserved public auction this Saturday 15 July from 11.30am at Naas Industrial Estate, Co Kildare.
Over the years the collector has built up a wide range of machines, including Massey Ferguson 35s, Massey Ferguson 135s, Massey Ferguson 165s and a Massey Ferguson 230.
