BKT again served as official sponsor of Tractor of the Year as the 2027 awards were presented at EIMA International in Bologna, Italy, on Nov. 10, 2026. The closing ceremony was held in the Sala Quadriportico. It is the sixth consecutive year the off-highway tire maker has partnered with the competition.
The 2027 edition began last June in Naples with a "Let The Challenge Begin" event. In the months that followed, an international jury of 26 specialized journalists from across Europe evaluated the field and selected six winners.
The Tractor of the Year 2027 title holders are:
TotY HighPower: STEYR 6440 CERVUS CVT
TotY MidPower: Massey Ferguson MF 7S.245 Mark 2
TotY Utility: CLAAS ARION 4.150 CMATIC
TotY Specialized: CLAAS NEXOS 2.120 CMATIC
TotY Sustainable: New Holland T7.270 Methane Power
TOTYBot: AgXeed AgBot T2 7 Series
"The demand for mechanization and innovative technologies continues to grow in the agricultural sector," said Lucia Salmaso, managing director of BKT Europe. "This annual event is a pivotal moment where supply and demand come together to drive a new phase of development and collaboration. Above all, it is an opportunity to look toward the future of agriculture, with a particular focus on soil conservation, Agriculture 4.0, autonomous vehicles, and all those solutions that will help make the sector increasingly efficient and sustainable."
Fabio Zammaretti, president of Tractor of the Year, said the BKT relationship is more than a sponsorship. "It is a strategic cooperation built over the years on mutual trust and a shared vision of the future of agricultural mechanization," he said. "BKT's support allows us to continue developing the TotY project, strengthening its international reach and creating new opportunities for manufacturers, journalists, and industry leaders to meet and exchange ideas. The journey of this edition, which began in Naples with 'Let the Challenge Begin' and concluded today at EIMA, demonstrates once again how important it is to be able to count on a partner that believes in the value of innovation and in the continuous growth of our project."
