Welcome to the January issue of Profi International.

Cover story for this month is an indepth look at John Deere’s new four-track 8RX along with the other changes to the 7R and 8R models. We also conclude our two part telescopic wheeled loader test, pitching JCB’s TM420 against the Kramer KL55.8T and Schaffer 9660T. We also spend some time studying the Ziegler disc harrow.

Driving impressions include the Nokian Groundking tyres, Krone VariPack 190XC variable chamber baler, Horsch Maestro RX precision drill and Kubota’s M4072 tractor.

Used machinery focus is on the 5600, 5700SL and 5700S models from Massey Ferguson.

For our Tuning feature we take a look at several seed drill mods which could make life easier for you this spring.

Technical features look at the Agrifac AicPlus spot spraying system and how one company has developed a GPS system for controlling variable width plough.
