Revolution & evolution
2023
In spring, the new warehouse and the building for prototype production will be occupied. In autumn, the assembly area will be set up in the expanded premises. This means Feldklasse will once again manufacture entirely in-house. Another milestone: the Zurama selective hoe will be delivered to the first pilot customers.
2022
Feldklasse now also available for arable farming.
The Zurama selective hoe has successfully cleared the first fields of weeds and will be delivered in small numbers as test machines in 2023.
Record year: The turnover in 2022 was € 1.1 million
2021
All or nothing. New name, new website, new corporate design. Feldklasse is fresh, colourful and multifaceted.

2017
On the Agritechnica exhibition, we present our hoes for ridge cultivation for the first time, and are met not with crusts, but with real interest.
2016

What makes us happy is the quality of good agricultural products – and of our machines.
A small team with great ambitions: we at Feldklasse are not afraid of growing beyond ourselves. Agriculture has accompanied us from childhood. Later, we intensified this relation through professional training. Because we get along very well and work as one unit, we are more agile than others. Put us to the test!
All signs are pointing towards growth.
The ecological philosophy and technical experience of Feldklasse fall on fertile ground. If you would like to become part of a successful young team and your background fits in, this might be a great opportunity for you – to start a career with an international flavour.
We can't do everything on our own – a big thank you to our partners!
