New Holland LM Telehandler
steals the show at Farm
Handling Experience
»»New Holland’s new LM
telehandler was the star
attraction on the company’s
stand as operators, managers
and farm owners took the
controls for a series of test
drives at the interactive Farm
Handling Experience at the
National Agricultural Centre,
Stoneleigh.
Sara Sebastianelli, Brand
Communications at New
Holland, said: “We had more
than 100 test drives on New
Holland machines over the
two days. The new LM Elite
telehandler was very popular,
as were the T4, T5 and T6
tractors in the arena. We were
also pleased to see a number
of people trying out our new
construction machinery.
Mark Crosby, marketing
support for the LM range said:
“We’re delighted to see the
level of interest in the LM,
particularly the Elite model,
which we had on show today.
The new models offer bestin-class visibility, ergonomic
controls and operator comfort,
so it’s great to hear that
operators agree.”
In the tractor loader arena,
New Holland T4, T5 and T6
models were to put to the test
in a range of handling tasks,
including a muck heap, bale
stack and potato box stack.
The Farm Handling
Experience provided a debut
for some of New Holland’s
construction equipment,
including wheeled loaders,
skid steers, backhoe loaders
and mini crawler excavators.

the response we’ve had to the
construction equipment on
show today. We’ve had some
really positive feedback and it’s
clear that these machines will

market.”
Summarising the event for

couple of days, with plenty of
