The first NFM issue for 2015, on-sale December 29, features an in-depth look at the record-breaking New Holland CR10.90 combine and the Agrifac Condor sprayer from the Netherlands.
After hearing about its record-breaking feat several months ago, NFM tracked down the one and only New Holland CR10.90 combine harvester unit in Australia and sent machinery expert Tom Dickson to have a closer look.
According to the Guinness Book of Records, this particular model from New Holland managed to harvest almost 800 tonnes of wheat in just eight hours, beating previous record holder Claas by a whopping 120 tonnes. Just what can this new Class 10 combine offer Australian farmers? Read the issue for Tom’s two cents. Watch the exclusive video review
Agrifac is not exactly a household name in Australia but Tom Dickson reckons that could very well change in the near future. The Netherlands based ag-machinery manufacturer has just started bringing its Condor sprayers into Australia in recent years and is currently making its way around the country doing demo-runs and field day appearances.
Tom Dickson tracks down a unit in WA for a test drive and thinks it has the potential to take-off in Australia. Read the detailed review in this issue. Watch our video review
