This week Donkey tries to turn back time! Craig pilots the 6290 & Kane Classic at Shane's Castle on the shores of Lough Neagh, in the very same field where Donkey once filmed Sloan's Massey & Kane outfit almost 20 years ago!

Tom and Sophie travelled out to lower Austria to take a look around the Brantner factory. In this video, Ben Price and Rainer Schuster take us on a walk around the factory and show us the whole production of a Brantner trailer from start to finish.

We went out to chat with Imogen from UTV Products about the new releases of LED lights the company is currently bringing out. We also talk to Tom from TML Agri Services Ltd who has recently fitted two sets of UTV LED lights to a pair of Claas Lexion combines which we also see working through the night in this video.

In this episode Cian travels to Co. Wexford to chat with Aidan Wickham about his brand new CLAAS LEXION 8700, his fleet of tillage & silage cutting equipment and his views on the future of tillage farming in Ireland.

Tonight's video is a follow up to a video from a couple of weeks ago when Donkey spoke to Jason Sweeney about a tractor run he was organizing in memory of his son Alexander who has sadly passed away. The event was organized to raise money for the Northern Ireland Children's Hospice. Alexander was a big fan of blue tractors so we brought our three blue girls along on the day to show our support. Check it out.

This week Tom chats to Rich Westwood at GC & JM Norgrove Contractors while out baling haylage.
Rich tells Tom about his experience operating the uncommon Claas Rolant combi baler wrapper & talks through the rest of the Norgrove fleet.

This week Gary is reeling in the years with Mark Little at Sloan Contracts. Both men worked for Sloans about 20 years ago, they reminisce on the tractors & machines of the past versus the fleet of today including Sloans brand new Big M 450.
