Welcome to the February issue of profi international. In this issue we have an exclusive driving impression of the Kubota M6002, a new range which sits below the M7003 (which will be undergoing a tractor test in the March issue). More heavy-duty than the MGX, the new mid-range model has a completely new transmission mated to the firm’s big block four-cylinder engine and a completely new cab layout.

The John Deere 8R410 proves how much better it is than the 8400R as it gets a workout on the DLG test bench and scores some impressive Powermix results. In fact take a gander at the contents below to see all the great content in the February issue.
