The Polaris Ranger 4x4 Diesel arrives on the back of a lorry. We cannot wait to get it unloaded and let it loose. This looks like a vehicle for extreme conditions. And it does not disappoint. The Ranger Diesel is built for hard work. It has all the features of the Ranger XP Petrol but with a...
This machine, (known until February 2011 as JCB UTV-4 ) reflects its industrial origins. Strong and tough, you can build it how you want. Take the basic body, engine and wheels and then add a hard or soft cab, opt for the semi-cab without doors, add lights, hydraulic tipping, bull bar, winch...
If noise and fumes are not acceptable on your site, then the John Deere TE Gator is worth a closer look.
Our team tests the - John Deere TE Gator, John Deere HPX Gator 4x4 Diesel, Polaris Ranger 4x4 Diesel, JCB Workmax 1000 D to see how they handle personnel, equipment and tools, Sally Drury reports.
We took the New Holland T5060 to work with a big Contractor Verti-Drain, in the hope of moving some of the water to surrounding drains.Mitch's first choice of tractor wouldn't normally be New Holland.

If, like us, you have wondered what the point is of a small, handheld, narrow-width cultivator such as the Mantis, then it is time you took a closer look. The Mantis tiller is muscle without bulk.
Its working width is fractionally larger than the Mantis, but the Husqvarna T200 compact has the appearance of a more "regular" tiller. It has the two-handled styling we expect of a typical "kitchen-garden tiller".
Designed for market gardens, ornamental gardens and smallholdings, the Efco MZ2090R is a tough but nimble tiller, with a useful 80cm working width, that could find work with landscapers and professional gardeners. But like all equipment, it should be used in the right conditions.
As the BLEC's representative unloads this machine from the lorry, he tells us the BLEC/Harley power box rake is one of the company's biggest sellers and that it is not often that he has to put it back on the lorry after completing a demonstration. Half an hour later we can see why that is the case.
