Furthermore, their pluses also include…

Alliance field tests, proven performance

23 January 202523 January 2025 Redazione

Over the course of last year, some Italian, Spanish and English farmers were able to attend the field tests organized by Yokohama-Atg to directly and objectively demonstrate the operational potential of its Alliance series “Agri Star II” and “Agriflex+ 372” tyres. The tests were developed using Fendt “728 Vario” tractors and as a whole they tended to demonstrate how the very high flexion technology “Vf”, “Very High Flexion”, improves traction and minimizes compaction thanks to the footprint the wider footprint induced by the tires on the ground which induces lower…

Trelleborg Tires Art1000, tracks vs wheels

21 January 202530 January 2025 Redazione

In the agricultural sector and propulsion systems, a gradual shift has been underway for years, with traditional tires giving way to rubber tracks in applications involving high power or vehicles working on extremely soft ground or steep slopes. While this phenomenon is not new—tracks have always been an alternative to tires for providing machines with high traction, ground flotation, and stability—traditional metal tracks had significant functional limitations, restricting their use to specific niche applications. However, the introduction of rubber tracks has radically transformed the situation. Unlike metal tracks, rubber tracks…

Spin.On Elements Fai Filtri: invisible but strategic

21 January 202521 January 2025 Redazione

When discussing the operational fluids within an agricultural machine, engine lubricating oil is often the first to come to mind. However, it is not the only one, as it can be accompanied by transmission oil, hydraulic circuit oil, coolant, and the operational fluid within the air conditioning system, not to mention diesel fuel and urea. A common characteristic of all these fluids is the progressive deterioration of their performance as solid or liquid contaminants infiltrate them. This issue is particularly critical in challenging environments such as engine crankcases or the…

RideMax Frost tires by Bkt: the snowball effect

16 January 202530 January 2025 Redazione

Snow has a strong affinity for itself, meaning snowflakes naturally tend to bond together with a strength that varies depending on temperature and humidity. It can be said that the lower the temperature, the more the flakes tend to crystallize, turning into ice. An example of this is the so-called “powder snow,” typical of cold and dry Arctic climates. It consists of frozen flakes that, once on the ground, tend to remain separated from each other. Conversely, the so-called “wet snow” occurs in winter in temperate regions when the temperature…

“Orion Pro” by Arag, measuring is better than calculating

13 January 202513 January 2025 Redazione

After introducing the “Flowtron” and “Orion3” systems, designed to manage sprayer and seeder flow rates, Arag has integrated both components into a unified system called “Orion Pro.” This innovation, aimed at controlling the flow rates of precision seeders, was recognized as a technical breakthrough at EIMA 2024. The Arag brand was founded in 1976 in Rubiera, in the Reggio Emilia region, by a group of local entrepreneurs focused on developing control systems and components for the spraying and seeding sectors. With the advent of precision agriculture and consistent investment in…
