Times might be tough in the current farming climate, but that hasn’t stopped the major manufacturers making big changes to their tractor line-ups.

High-horsepower models have been beefed up, the Fendt 1050 is now on sale as the world’s most powerful fixed-frame tractor – peaking at 500hp – and the new John Deere 8R gives it a good run for its money at 450hp.
