The opportunity to champion the best and brightest agricultural engineers is the perfect way to celebrate that legacy while also supporting the future of British farming .”
The award showcases engineers who have created or made changes to a piece of agricultural machinery , equipment or technology and , by doing so , improved efficiency , profitability or sustainability on-farm .

“ I will be looking for entries that demonstrate creativity and profitability , a finished product , prototype or concept that will help a farm or business ’ s profitability and how it contributes towards sustainability .”

ArmaTrac Tractors continue growing from strength to strength

LAMMA 2022 is the chosen platform to launch our latest exciting new model the ArmaTrac 1004PS , now with ZF power shuttle .
HAVING now established 22 ArmaTrac dealerships across the UK and Ireland – full support is not too far away .
ArmaTrac Chairman – Ray McNally states – ‘ these are exciting times for ArmaTrac , our tractors are an ideal stockmans / livestock tractor and as one farmer told me – mud and electronics simply don ’ t mix .
This is the reason ArmaTrac is staying firm with the strategy of offering genuine back to basic tractors that are easy to use with little or no electronics .
ArmaTrac is now in its 7th year of supplying tractors and the reason why ArmaTrac continues to increase its market share , ArmaTrac are maintaining competitive pricing for a user-friendly tractor with a reputable recognised driveline of the Deutz – ZF combination .
Farmers are having a rough time now between one thing or another and are now exploring what else is in the industry that can do the job and is affordable .
Hence , I stand by my opinion that ArmaTrac genuinely offers the best value for money tractors in the market today .
