Winners of Innovation Awards – Agritechnica 2025
The leading innovation award scheme in the agricultural machinery industry received 251 entries of which 234 were approved for the list of exhibition innovations. The DLG Innovation Jury has awarded two innovations with gold and 22 innovations with the silver medal.
Gold Medal Winners:
An Agritechnica Innovation Gold medal is conferred on an innovation demonstrating a new concept in which the functionality has changed decisively and gives rise to a new process or marks a substantial improvement to an existing process.
Key criteria:
- Practical significance at farm level
- Operating profitability and efficiency benefits
- Improvement on the environment and energy consumption.
- Work load reduction and improved health and safety
Line Traction from Müller Landmaschinen GmbH A Joint development with Aebi & Co. AG Maschinenfabrik
The completely new ‘Line Traction Version 3’ drive concept developed by Müller Landmaschinen and Aebi & Co. AG Maschinenfabrik replaces the previously usual longitudinal and transverse differentials with a hydrostatic system in the planetary final drives.
For the first time, this enables each wheel to be driven at the correct speed when cornering, which vastly improves traction and significantly increases safety at the critical limits.
Overall concept of a 70t/hour big baler from CLAAS
The concept of a 70 t per hour big baler that has been completely redeveloped by CLAAS is designed for a combination of high throughputs with constantly high bale densities and secure binding, and establishes entirely new performance dimensions for this machine type.
Silver medal winners
An Agritechnica Innovation Silver medal is conferred on an innovation for an existing product such that a significant improvement in functionality and process is achieved. The product does not fully meet the criteria for the award of an Innovation Gold Medal. Key criteria include:
- Relevance at farm level
- Work load reduction and enhanced work quality
- Improved reliability
- Positive impact on environmental sustainability and energy efficiency
DEUTZ-FAHR TAGS – Tractor Assisted Guidance System from SAME DEUTZ-FAHR DEUTSCHLAND GmbH Joint development with Stereolabs
With the DEUTZ-FAHR TAGS – Tractor Assisted Guidance System, DEUTZ-FAHR is significantly advancing the electronics architecture of tractors and therefore enabling the integration of various assistance systems, some of which are familiar from passenger cars and lorries. This contributes to safety when travelling on the road and manoeuvring on the farm, and simultaneously establishes the prerequisites for autonomous functions in the future.
LEMKEN iQblue Fan Automation and automated fan control from LEMKEN GmbH & Co. KG
With iQblue Fan Automation, Lemken is solving the problem of incorrectly set air volumes and undetected blockages that is so far familiar with all pneumatic seed drills. The measurement function factors in machine-specific differences such as line routing, the line length and line resistances – offering genuine added value.
