Farmhand has confirmed its line-up for the 2026 FTMTA Farm Machinery Show.

The brand is set to once again showcase machinery suitable for a wide variety of agricultural enterprises from November 17- 19 at the show at Punchestown Racecourse.

Krone/Amazone

Taking centre stage at the Farmhand stand will be the Krone BiG X 860 forage harvester.

Featuring a six-cylinder 18L Liebherr engine, the newest addition to the BiG X series clocks in with 843hp and 4,000Nm of torque at 1,300rpm.

While the previous models in this power class were equipped with V8 and V12 engines, Krone opted for a newly developed in-line engine built for fuel efficiency.

Initially unveiled in September 2025, the BiG X 860 also appeared at the National Ploughing Championships earlier this year.

However, at the Ploughing, the BiG X took a backseat to the BiG M, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year.

Also on display will be a wide selection of Krone mowers such as the B880CV BSS butterfly combination, EasyCut R321CV, EasyCut R280 and AMR 240 mower.

The Swadro TC 880 twin-rotor rake and Vendro 540 tedder will also be available to view from Krone.

Amazone's latest machinery line-up will include the ZA-V 2600 Profis Tronic fertiliser spreader, ZATS Autospread spreader, Centaya 3000 Super drill, Catros 3003 compact disc harrow, Cenio 3000 cultivator and UF 2002 mounted sprayer.

The flagship Pantera 7004 self-propelled sprayer will also be at this year's show and will be visible outside the marquee.

The CultiWise M3M will also be available to view at the Farmhand stand.

This drone allows users to create detailed field maps that precisely identify weeds.

The collected data can be downloaded and transferred to Amazone sprayers, allowing operators to spray only the affected areas of a field, improving efficiency while reducing product usage and costs.

Fastparts

FTMTA showgoers will also get the chance to visit Farmhand subsidiary Fastparts' stall.

Machinery on display there includes the Quicke BaleCut, Unigrip+ with Backstop, Silocut M+ 240, Multibenne L+ 240, pallet forks and weight block.

The stand will also feature equipment from APV, including the GS 600 seeder and mounting systems, as well as the Rakeman 3000 grass harrow.

A full selection of Dromone Balle and Spoon pickup hitch systems will also be on display.

Fastparts will also be displaying a range of Compac workshop equipment, including jacks, axle stands and a 50t press.

Quicke

Separately, Quicke has recently extended its So Easy wheel weight to now fit larger tractors with 38-42" wheels.

The Swedish company recognises that as tractors and implements become bigger, proper ballasting is more important than ever.

Adding the correct weight helps improve traction, reduce wheel slip, increase field performance and help lower fuel consumption.

The new range can provide up to 850kg of ballast per wheel.
