Machine attempts Guinness record

The machine that has been selected to achieve this record is an Agri Plus 40.7 EVO2, one of the company's best performing models in the Agri series.
With constant monitoring by record officials, the telehandler must travel 840 km in six days from DIECI headquarters in Montecchio Emilia to the TECHAGRO exhibition in the Czech Republic, crossing Northern Italy, Austria and Germany on the way.
