New Holland's XD range made its UK debut at the show, positioned as a sister machine to the Case IH Optum 440. The tractors share an 8.7-litre FPT Cursor 9 engine and CVT transmission, with a maximum forward speed of 60km/h.

The range includes three models delivering 360hp, 390hp and 435hp. Compared with smaller T7 models, the XD features a larger 680-litre fuel tank 鈥� 13% bigger than the T7 HD 鈥� alongside updated software. A new-generation IntelliSense control system replaces the previous PLM platform.

Deutz-Fahr 8 Series

undefined

The new 8 Series marks a significant step for Deutz-Fahr, representing a ground-up design built at the manufacturer's Lauingen facility in Germany.

Two models are offered, producing 313hp and 340hp from an FPT N67 engine 鈥� a notable departure from Deutz-Fahr's traditional engine supply. The engine delivers up to 1,398 Nm of torque and is HVO-compatible.

A standout feature is the new SigmaVision cab, which is 200mm longer and wider than its predecessor and offers an 11% increase in glass area. Two configurable joysticks control transmission, auxiliaries and IsoBus functions via the iMonitor 5 touch-screen and A-pillar iCluster display.

The optional Tractor Assisted Guidance System (TAGS) brings adaptive cruise control, lane assist, cross-road assist, traffic sign recognition and obstacle and human detection using a 360-degree camera system.

Rear linkage lift capacity is rated at 12,000kg, with a 5,450kg front linkage. Hydraulics are supplied by a 220 litres/min load-sensing pump, supported by a separate clean-oil tank.

Fendt 800 Vario

undefined

Fendt's new 800 Vario replaces the outgoing 800 S4 range and includes three models 鈥� 826, 829 and 832 鈥� producing 283hp, 313hp and 343hp respectively.

Power comes from an 8.0-litre AGCO Power CORE80 engine, the largest CORE unit currently fitted in AGCO tractors. Exhaust after-treatment consists of DOC, DPF and SCR, without exhaust gas recirculation, and the engine is approved for 100% HVO use.

A new TA250 Vario transmission uses a single-speed layout with split front and rear drive via the VarioDrive system. Maximum road speeds of 40, 50 and 60km/h are available, with Fendt's iD concept delivering 40km/h at just 950rpm. Transmission oil change intervals are extended to 4,000 hours.

The range also gains a new cab frame and upgraded lighting, with up to 32 LED work lights delivering a maximum output of 114,700 lumens 鈥� a 65% increase over the S4.

JCB Fastrac 6000

undefined

Slotting between the 4000 and 8000 Series, the Fastrac 6000 brings higher power while retaining the key features of the 4000 range. Two models are offered: the 6260 (284hp) and 6300 (335hp).

Both use a 6.7-litre, six-cylinder FPT engine paired with a ZF Eccom 3.1 CVT transmission, delivering a top speed of 66km/h. Drive is split across four ranges, though automatic control makes range changes imperceptible in operation.

Signature Fastrac features remain, including full suspension on both axles, four-wheel steering and a rear load deck. External disc brakes with HGV-style ABS continue JCB's focus on road safety.

Cab updates include the iCon control system, an optional second A-pillar-mounted screen and expanded menu customisation. Twin NovAtel GPS receivers are fitted as standard, enabling crab steering with independent wheel paths to improve weight distribution. A factory-fitted, screen-integrated CTIS system is also available.
