A growing series of reports, each focused on a key discussion point for the farming sector, brought to you by the Kondinin team.

Research Report: Agritechnica 2025 (January 2026)

This month’s Research Report covers the highlights from Agritechnica – the world’s largest trade fair and show for ag machinery and technology. The event is held every two years and attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors.

Research Report: Mobile Phones (December 2025)

With the closure of Telstra’s 3G network, Kondinin Group engineers Josh Giumelli and Ben White put several popular 4G phones to the test to see how they stacked up. Our standard test protocol applied over the past two decades was maintained as each handset was measured by the maximum distance a two-way call could be made from a phone tower.

Research Report: Side-by-side Vehicles (November 2025)

Kondinin Group’s research team dives into the side-by-side market for this report, looking at popular diesel models, a few petrol versions and a couple of electric vehicles.
