Everything from tractors purpose-built to run on canola oil to a warning system for children coming near farm machinery were on view at the world’s largest farm equipment show in Hanover
by NORMAN DUNN
The European Agritechnica farm equipment show, held in Hanover, Germany, bills itself as the world’s largest. The November event is certainly one of the most innovative with 330 new launches from the record 2,200 exhibitors, including a six-wheel-drive 540 hp tractor, the first engines specifically designed for running on canola oil and an all-electric fertilizer spreader independent of pto power.
