Agritechnica – one of the world’s biggest (indoor) agricultural machinery exhibitions – opens its doors tomorrow (Sunday, November 10) in Hannover, Germany. It runs until Saturday (November 16).
More than 2,750 exhibitors, not just from Europe but all over the world, have registered to take part.
Agritechnica attracts practically all of the big-name (and smaller) manufacturers that are active in Europe, as well as most (of what might be classed as) ‘global’ brand-names.
Here, in this initial article, we bring you just a selection of tractor highlights from behind the scenes at this year’s exhibition.

Who or what is the DLG?
Deutsche Landwirtschafts-Gesellschaft (DLG) – the German Agricultural Society – is the organiser of not only Agritechnica but also EuroTier – another significant trade fair. The two events take place in alternate years (in Hannover).
However, the organisation – which was established more than 130 years ago – lays claim to playing a much wider role in both German and global agriculture.
The organisation now says that it has “remained true to Max Eyth’s founding principles”.
A spokesperson explained: “His idea of establishing the DLG came at a time when it was clear that the industrial revolution would have a major impact on the agricultural sector.
“Innovation in farm machinery remains at the centre of the society’s activities today.”
