European tractor registrations down
A total of 108,800 tractors were registered across Europe in the first six months of 2022, with 31,900 tractors of 37kW (50 hp) and under and 76,900 of 38kW and above.
Loader specialist MX has introduced a modular, progressive ballasting system that should ensure tractors can easily be set up for differing tasks. The base unit uses four base weights 600-1500kg and the facility to add two extra weights of 400kg each to give 12 possible combinations in the range 600-2300kg.
The system can be used on tractors with Cat 2, 3 and 4 linkages, and rear or front mounting. The base units incorporate MX’s patented quick attach system, with deep arm guides, that allows three point or two point mounting depending on the frequency of removal.
The design ensures the load is distributed throughout the structure; it offers impact resistance and should ensure a long service life.
A red removable indicator for sighting during front mounting attachment enhances the system’s usability.
Optionally the concept also offers a Multibox that fastens to the front of the unit, giving 168L of closed storage space for tools or medicines. It has purpose-designed holders for chainsaws and shovels, and a drum holder.
