RASE New Equipment Award

Collectively the Machinery Awards Scheme, the New Equipment Awards and the Sir Roland Burke Perpetual Challenge Machinery Trophy demonstrate the Society’s support for innovation, technical excellence, proven reliability and its long standing commitment to the machinery and equipment sector.

The New Equipment Awards, run in association with Farmer’s Guardian, are open to all agricultural, horticultural and forestry equipment companies who are exhibiting at the Royal Show.

The awards are for equipment offered for sale for the first time at a major show. The equipment should incorporate innovative ideas which are likely to be advantageous in farming operations.
