AFT-e1 tractors and attachments reach trial partners across the UK

The first AFT-e1 tractors and attachments are going out to partner holdings across the UK, to continue the field trial programme on working ground rather than on a test track.

This is the start of AFT-e1 tractors and attachments being delivered to partners across the UK, to continue our field trials.

The point of a trial partner is that they have work to do. Every machine going out is going to a holding with jobs already on it — ground to break, grass to cut, stock and materials to shift — so what comes back is a record of the machine doing somebody's actual week, including the parts that do not go to plan.

The attachments go with them

Each machine goes out with the tools its holding needs rather than a standard bundle: a rotary plough where there is ground to break, a trailer where the week is spent carrying things, a mower where there is grass.
