Some highlights include:

TRACTORS
Kubota's new tractor range marks the firm's launch into the mainstream agricultural market. Built at the company's new manufacturing facility in northern France, the M7001 Series is Kubota's most powerful tractor to date.

Available in three models (M7131, M7151 and M7171, rated at 130, 150, 170 hp respectively), the series is aimed at mixed and arable farms and comes with a host of features to maximise performance, reliability and operator comfort and control.

Case IH's new Puma range incorporates seven models from 150-240hp. The six-cylinder power units meet European StageIV (Tier4Final) emission regulations that minimise fuel consumption and maximise performance.

Spearheading the John Deere range of mid-size tractors are the new six-cylinder 6175R, 6195R and 6215R large-frame models.

New Holland is showing its recently re-launched T8 range, with Tier 4B engines, which offer improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. Power is increased across the range and torque curves have been improved, peaking at 1300-1500rpm and improving fuel efficiency.

DRILLS
Kuhn Farm Machinery's new 6m minimum tillage drill is designed to maximise speed, accuracy and efficiency. The new Espro, which is being launched at Cereals, can be pulled by a 200 hp tractor and drill accurately at speeds up to 17km/h.

Claydon is launching a new 8m version of its Hybrid T trailed drill. Capable of up to 70ha/day, the drill employs Claydon's Direct Strip Till Seeding System to sow directly into stubble, in min-till situations or on ploughed/cultivated land.

Kverneland is showing its newly launched Kultistrip. Individual strip till rows, which can be set 45-75cm apart, are connected by a spring-loaded parallelogram system to follow the ground contours. A 520mm diameter disc opens the soil and cuts long trash, followed by trash-wheels that disperse residues, leaving a clean strip of earth.

Making its debut in the UK at this year's Cereals event will be the grain-only version of the new Great Plains 4m Centurion CDA 400 cultivator drill. It will stand alongside its larger 6m counterpart, the Centurion CDA 600, which has recently benefited from various upgrades.

CULTIVATORS
Amazone's new Certos heavy compact disc harrow is designed to deal with high levels of trash such as that produced by cover and catch crops and maize grown on energy contracts.

Vaderstad is showing two recently launched cultivator ranges at Cereals. The Carrier L and XL range have 51cm/61cm diameter notched discs with adjustable working angles and are available in 4.25-8.25m working widths. Tools including straw harrow, CrossCutter Knife and CrossBoard can be fitted, and three packers are available to ensure good soil to trash contact in a range of soils.
