The revamped edition of TotY, the prestigious event sponsored by BKT that awards the best tractors in agriculture today, has just ended at EIMA.
Tractor of the Year and BKT – Together Celebrating the Best Tractors Set to Revolutionize the Farming Industry
A new and exciting edition of the Tractor of the Year, the popular international event celebrating innovative and sustainable tractors on the European market, concluded today its 26th edition.
It was the fifth consecutive year that BKT consolidated its role as sponsor of the competition, supporting the promotion of advanced technologies and sustainable solutions to improve the future of agriculture.
Revamped Tractor of the Year Format to Meet Rising Challenges
Tractor of the Year 2025 introduced a completely revamped format and new prize categories to meet the rising challenges of an ever-changing market. These categories are designed to meet the current industry needs. The selection process started in February 2024 with the evaluation of the candidates by 25 jurors, journalists from as many countries, and representatives of the major European farming machinery magazines.
Later in June, the launch event “Let the Challenge Begin” was held in Milan, where the manufacturers presented their latest-generation tractors to the jury. In the following months, the jurors effectively analyzed the technical specifications and performed field tests to evaluate the tractors’ performance.
Six Award Categories
The six award categories are designed to meet the specific needs of today’s agriculture. The categories in which major manufacturers competed to win the 26th-edition award are:
- TotY HighPower for tractors with more than 300 horsepower, designed to recognize the growing relevance of high-power tractors.
- TotY MidPower is dedicated to tractors between 150 and 280 horsepower, where versatility and power combine in perfect balance.
- TotY Utility is reserved for multi-purpose tractors between 70 and 150 horsepower.
- TotY Specialised for tractors suitable for vineyards, orchards, and hilly and mountainous terrains.
- Sustainable TotY rewards the most innovative model from a sustainability viewpoint.
- TotYBot category that is reserved for robotic tractors without cabins is a step towards agricultural robotization.

Strength and Dynamism of the Agricultural Sector
“This edition of TotY has once again highlighted the strength and dynamism of the agricultural sector, showing how innovation and sustainability have become increasingly central points in the European agricultural scenery,” comments Lucia Salmaso, Managing Director of BKT Europe.
“Not only do these new solutions respond to today’s challenges, but they also lay the foundations for future agriculture. We are excited to see how new technologies are creating a positive and sustainable impact in our industry. Our congratulations go to all participants and winners who embody the values of our vision of progress.”
“This edition of Tractor of the Year has once again demonstrated the extraordinary level of innovation and sustainability that our industry can achieve,” commented Fabio Zammaretti, President of Tractor of the Year.
“The winners represent the future of agriculture thanks to solutions that combine efficiency, power, and respect for the environment. We proudly celebrate these achievements and heartfully thank the manufacturers, the 25 jurors, journalists from 25 countries, and our sponsor BKT for their ongoing commitment to promoting modern and sustainable agriculture.”
The latest edition of Tractor of the Year has thus ended, inspiring manufacturers to push themselves beyond their limits by innovating tractors in both design and functionality. As the jury and the project expand, the mission remains clear: to discover and highlight technologies and solutions advancing agricultural mechanization.
BKT establishes itself as a strategic partner in this context, promoting innovation and sustainability through cutting-edge tyres. TotY celebrates innovation and lays the foundations for a more efficient and sustainable agricultural future.
