Last week’s Farm Handling Experience was the place to be for anyone looking to try out the latest telehandlers, tractors and loading shovels from some of Europe’s biggest farm machinery manufacturers.

The first-of-its-kind event gave visiting farmers and contractors the chance to get in the driving seat to shift muck, big square bales and work on the clamp.

Farmers Weekly’s editor, Karl Schneider, takes you on a tour of the site and meets farmers trying out the kit to hear their views on the machines and the event.
