First presented in 1998, "Tractor of the Year" winners are selected annually by a jury of 24 European editors from independent technical magazines specializing in agriculture machinery. Members of the jury evaluate entries under field conditions to determine winners in three categories as well as a "Best Design" award chosen from all the finalists.
