The prestigious Burke Trophy for machinery innovation will be up for grabs at this month’s Royal Norfolk Show.

A clutch of mainstream manufacturers will be competing for the prize, which will be awarded on the Norfolk Farm Machinery Club (Normac) stand.

Among those in the running are Vaderstad with its latest TopDown, running the high-tech E-services control package, a trailed Hardi sprayer with Pulse application system, and Amazone’s mounted fertiliser spreader with automated Windcontrol throw adjustment.

Others jostling for the crown include Spreadpoint’s auger-based lime spreader, Agriweld’s bag lifter and cutter, and the Hustler Hurricane all-in-one feeder/bedder.

The show takes place on 26-27 June at the Norfolk Showground, Norwich. Tickets are £29.50 in advance, or £34 on the day.
