The two-day Farm Handling Experience event, Farmers Weekly’s first hands-on event for farmers, kicked off on Wednesday 22 April.

For the first time ever, farmers got a chance to try out almost all the main telehandler makes in one place.

And they made good use of the opportunity as you can see from the photos below.

The Dieci Agriplus 40.7 Evo 2 handler is a 7m machine with 141hp under the bonnet

Finnish maker Avant had a range of nippy machines that are ideal for tight buildings

JCB had a big range of models at FHE; this WLS418S wheeled loader has a 173hp engine

Massey Ferguson’s 9407S Xtra handler can lift 3.5t to 7m

TF50.8 handler from Italian maker Merlo lifts a massive 5t to 7.8m

New Holland’s LM7.42 lifts a chunky 4.2t to 7m height

Valtra’s X-type pivot-steer tractor, recently revamped, was a surprise arrival at the Farm Handling Experience

Zetor Proxima Power 120 and fore-end loader made short shrift of this pile of muck
