Massey Ferguson 8S.265 Dyna-7: Stepping out in MF style • Now that were getting used to the fresh looks of the 8S, its time to see if the bling matches its bang. Our in-depth tractor test seeks to answer every performance question, so read on to discover what we make of the 8S.265 with the Dyna-7 semi-powershift box.

3 tractors incomparison • This is a comparison of three similar hp tractors that have been tested by profi in past magazines

Kverneland 3300S Variomat with Packomat: Good genetics • Kverneland has carried over a number of design elements first seen on its ISObus 2500 I-Plough to its latest four- to six-furrow mounted model, the 3300S Variomat. We put a five-furrow model, with a Packomat packer, to the test last autumn.
