AGCO (NYSE: AGCO) is advancing fuel saving technologies that help farmers reduce operating costs while maintaining performance, reliability and uptime during critical fieldwork, with results reflected in independent DLG (Deutsche Landwirtschafts-Gesellschaft) PowerMix testing. Those gains are being delivered across the company's Fendt®, Massey Ferguson® and Valtra® brands, supported by engine development and integrated powertrain solutions from AGCO Power™, the company's power solutions division that designs and manufactures engines and related systems.

"For farmers, fuel efficiency is about lowering operating costs without sacrificing the performance and reliability they need during critical fieldwork," said Kari Aaltonen, Director, Engineering, AGCO Power. "Across our brands, AGCO Power focuses on engineering engines and integrated powertrains that deliver measurable efficiency gains in real working conditions."

In Fendt's latest tractor platforms, the AGCO Power CORE engine family is a central part of the powertrain lineup. CORE engines are in use in several of the brand's Vario series tractors, including the CORE50 in the Fendt 600 Vario series and the CORE75 in the Fendt 700 Vario Gen7 series. Independent testing of the Fendt 700 Vario series, with its CVT transmission, demonstrated strong fuel efficiency performance across both field and transport applications, reinforcing Fendt's focus on delivering efficient power in high-horsepower tractors.

Massey Ferguson also uses AGCO Power engines in its current product lineup, and the impact is demonstrated in independent tests. In recent DLG PowerMix testing, the Massey Ferguson 8S.265 Xtra Dyna E-Power™ placed first overall for fieldwork in its category. The results highlight how AGCO Power engine integration, combined with Massey Ferguson transmission and tractor design choices, delivers measurable efficiency outcomes in real, world operating scenarios.

Across Valtra's tractor range, AGCO Power engines serve as the long-standing power source, paired with efficiency-focused operating concepts integrated into the overall driveline. Valtra's EcoPower™ operating philosophy focuses on maintaining high torque at lower engine speeds, supporting lower fuel consumption across typical field and transport applications, an approach reflected in DLG PowerMix results and other independent comparison testing cited by the brand. Valtra also uses a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system to enable efficient combustion, contributing to improved fuel consumption compared with previous engine generations.

AGCO's Fendt, Massey Ferguson and Valtra brands are seeing measurable fuel efficiency gains through the combination of AGCO Power's proven engine technology and brand-specific tractor and powertrain integration. For farmers, that means lower fuel costs without sacrificing the performance and reliability demanded in real-world work.

Cranswick automates 240-picks-per-minute sausage line with Rockwell Automation delta robots, freeing workers for skilled roles

Cranswick automates 240-picks-per-minute sausage line with Rockwell Automation delta robots, freeing workers for skilled roles

Cranswick, one of Britain's largest premium food manufacturers, has commissioned a fully automated robotic pick-and-place system powered by Rockwell Automation's Allen-Bradley hardware and autonox delta robots to handle end-of-line sausage packaging at 240 cycles per minute. The deployment, delivered by CWM Automation, removes a manual bottleneck on a high-volume seasonal line and reassigns workers to more skilled positions. The project lands as UK food manufacturers face mounting pressure to find automation ROI amid ongoing labor constraints and rising production targets.

  • 01Cranswick's new autonox delta robot system executes 240 pick-and-place cycles per minute on its pigs-in-blankets packaging line, a throughput rate that manual labor cannot match at scale.
  • 02Allen-Bradley Kinetix VP servo motors and a GuardLogix 5380 safety controller handle precision detection and orientation of each sausage before placement, per Rockwell Automation's announcement.
  • 03Workers displaced from the manual packaging stage are being redeployed to more skilled roles on other production lines, a model other food manufacturers can replicate to address labor productivity gaps.
