Day one of the EIMA international machinery show in Bologna, Italy, saw five tractor manufacturers take home awards for Tractor of the Year. There were six different categories in play – Fendt won in two categories – that ranged from horsepower to sustainability and a newly created category called ‘TotyBot’ for fully automated tractors without a cab. A precision weeder from Ferrari Growtech that uses AI technology to remove weeds in vegetable fields was also a highlight of the day. Oh, and a John Deere tractor was carved up for all visitors to see. Take a look!
