The contest saw 25 tractors compete in six categories including technological innovation, sustainability, design, digitalization and comfort. The vehicles were built by manufacturers from all over the world, from the USA to Europe, and represent the new era of agricultural mechanics. A jury made up of operators and specialized journalists from various countries evaluated all performance displays in terms of ergonomics, comfort, power and technology.
The competition, sponsored by the magazine Trattori, has now become a must-see event at the EIMA International agricultural machinery fair, which is being held in Bologna until November 10th. The contest ended today with an extremely crowded winner announcement and award ceremony. The winner of the “top category” Tractor of the Year for high power was the Case IH Quadratc 715 model, while the Fendt 620 Vario DP won in the medium power range. The Steyr 4120 Plus won the award for best utility tractor in the 70-150 horsepower range with a maximum operating weight of 9,000 kilograms and a maximum of 4 cylinders.
All the lights were on specialized tractors for vineyards and orchards with the “best of specialized” category, which saw the success of the Venetian manufacturer Antonio Carraro with its Tony 8900 TRG. One of the big novelties of TOTY 2025 was the TotYBot award given to the most innovative robotic models. The overall winner in this category was the AgXeed 5.115T2 model. Finally, a place was found for sustainability with the Sustainable TOTY award given to another Fendt model, the e107 Vario.
