WHAT ’ S COMING TO LAMMA IN 2024 …

As UK agriculture ’ s first event of the new year , LAMMA 2024 is gearing up to be one for the books , with an impressive roster of new machines making their UK debut on 17-18 January at NEC Birmingham .
“ THE line-up of organisations and brands coming to LAMMA this year reads like a ‘ who ’ s who ’ of the agricultural world , from both here in Britain and abroad ,” says Sarah Whittaker-Smith , LAMMA event director . “ Visitors can also take advantage of several new and returning features to hear the latest updates , learn from industry experts , network with others , and have a bit of fun in the process .”
Visitors will undoubtedly be keen to get a glance at those which were unveiled at Agritechnica in 2023 including the Valtra S tractor series , Massey Ferguson 9s tractor range , as well as the Fastrac 4220 iCON and 542-70 Series III Loadall .
Czech implement manufacturer Bednar will also have their DIRECTO NO direct drill on stand , which boasts the potential for up to three hoppers to give farmers many options for applications and planting .
Other machinery giants will also be sure to impress with some of the biggest kit at the show . As the winner of an Agritechnica 2023 Gold Medal , New Holland ’ s brand new CR11 combine harvester offers higher throughputs , reduced grain loss , and more automations .
The Case IH Quadtrac 715 is the brand ’ s most powerful tractor ever produced , delivering a huge 778 peak horsepower at 1,900 rpm .
Case IH Marketing Manager Neil Macer said : “ Here at Case IH , we ’ re delighted that the new Quadtrac 715 - the most powerful tractor ever produced by the brand - will be making its UK debut at LAMMA ’ 24 . LAMMA is a key event in the agricultural calendar for machinery lovers , and we are sure the Quadtrac will be a must-see piece of kit at the show !”
