The Modern Machines Offer
With Jonathan Whitlam & Stephen Richmond
Tractor Torque
Tractors today are more sophisticated and futuristic than ever before. Electronics have taken over the operation of virtually every task. New cabs have become similar to office suites allowing the driver to work gruellingly long operating days with far less strain and in relative luxury.
Highlights include the Claas Xerion 3300, Valtra’s reverse drive S280, McCormick’s brand new XTX range, New Holland’s TVT series and the JCB Fastrac 3220 to name but a few. As usual there is masses of detail about each model featured, all sharing one thing in common – plenty of Tractor Torque!
