Fresh from winning the prestigious title of tractor of the year at Agritechnica, the Fendt 1000 Vario series will be on display at Lamma.

The 1000 series is offered from 380-500 horsepower. Fendt claims it has been specially designed as a powerful draft tractor for the global market. The 1000 Vario features the new x5 S cab and award-winning Fendt Variotronic. Will any of these tractors make their way to Irish farms? Time will tell.

Bobcat Telehandlers

Bobcat will be showing the company’s new TL358+ AGRI and TL470HF AGRI telehandlers for the first time at Lamma. Bobcat skid-steers, compact-tracked loaders, mini-excavators and farming attachments will also be on display. Adare Machinery in Co Limerick is the main dealer for Bobcat in Ireland, so we can expect to see more of these products on Irish farms in the near future.

McCormick X7 VT Drive

At Lamma, McCormick will have its new X7 VT drive tractors on display. These machines use ZF’s latest continuously variable transmission – Terramatic. Offered in both four-cylinder 136-166 horsepower and six-cylinder 181-194 horsepower versions, the McCormick X7 VT Drive is sure to be a hit at this year’s show.
