Farmers and agricultural contractors looking to see the latest cultivation and drilling machinery in action can add Tillage-Live 2026 to the diary.
The Agricultural Engineers Association's annual demonstration event is set to take place on Thursday 17 September 2026 at Law Farming's Chrishall Grange in Cambridgeshire.
Unlike a traditional indoor machinery show, Tillage-Live gives visitors the opportunity to see equipment working in real field conditions and compare machinery from different manufacturers side by side.
What to expect at Tillage-Live 2026
A wide range of agricultural machinery manufacturers are expected to attend, including:
- John Deere
- Horsch
- Kuhn
- Lemken
- Pottinger
- Vaderstad
- Cousins of Emneth
Visitors will be able to watch cultivation and drilling equipment working throughout the day, giving farmers an opportunity to compare different systems before making machinery decisions for their own farms.
Alongside the live demonstrations, there will also be a static exhibition area featuring machinery dealers and agricultural industry specialists.
Topics at the event are expected to include the latest developments in crop establishment, soil management and precision farming technology.
Soil management and farming knowledge
The event is not only focused on machinery.
Visitors can also take part in a knowledge trail covering areas including:
- Cover crops
- Soil management
- Soil compaction
- Practical approaches to improving crop establishment
Eligible attendees can also collect BASIS and NRoSO points by completing the knowledge trail.

Protecting machinery is part of protecting your investment
Events such as Tillage-Live are a reminder of just how much modern farming relies on increasingly sophisticated and valuable machinery.
At Farm Packs, we focus on the practical products farmers use every day to help protect their vehicles, machinery and operators.
From heavy-duty tractor and machinery seat covers to practical farm safety equipment, our products are designed for working environments where mud, dust, water and daily wear are simply part of the job.
A quality seat cover is a relatively small addition compared with the cost of replacing or repairing an operator seat, particularly on modern tractors, telehandlers, excavators and other agricultural machinery.
If you're upgrading machinery or simply looking after the equipment you already have, explore the latest Farm Packs range for practical protection built around agricultural use.
