We’re back with something seriously special… the new John Deere F9 prototype, working hard at Martin Evans Group LTD. This machine has clocked a massive 2,500 hours, making it the highest-hour test unit in the world - and we’ve been given full access to see how it’s performing.

Donkey chats to Paul, who has been running the F9 since day one, to find out what it’s really like testing a machine for John Deere. From the big upgrades over previous models, to how the harvester handles the workload that Martin Evans group puts it through. Paul gives us proper insight you won’t hear anywhere else.

GRASSMEN are the fast-paced, global agriculture phenomenon whose video content and merchandise are recognised worldwide. The business was started in 2009 by current director Gareth Gault, known to fans as ‘Donkey’. His love and passion for machinery allowed him to experiment with cameras and upload content to YouTube. To his surprise, a large following soon developed and the niche in the market for real-life, documentary, farming and machinery action made it possible to drive the brand forward.

We at GRASSMEN, pride ourselves on providing an exclusive look into agricultural manufacturers, meeting real, working farmers, showing and demonstrating tractors and machinery through all seasons such as silage and slurry and ultimately educating and entertaining our fans.
If you love all things agriculture from top manufacturers such as John Deere, Fendt, Massey Ferguson, JCB, Land Rover and many many more, come and join #teamgrassmen, we would love to have you!
