When we talk about lubricating oils we are actually referring to a mix of products which together create the fluid in question. A good 60-80 percent of these are made with virgin oils mixed with 5-20 percent additives and viscosity improvers. Virgin oils, the so-called “bases”, therefore represent the primary component of an oil and the qualities of the final products and their performance are closely linked to their qualities. Quality has always been the basis of the products Aware of the importance of bases, Pakelo since its inception in…

Titan, new site and new products
Titan Italia looks to the future by also renewing its website. The company that produces wheels, tires and components also for agricultural machinery has therefore decided to focus even more on digital. On the occasion of the German Agritechnica era held in Hanover last November, the Titan group proposed its new rims for “Lw” series tractors, characterized by a profile geometry designed to facilitate tire mounting operations using up to 30 percent approximately less than the pressure normally needed to fit a tire onto the rim. This is thanks to…

Read MoreContinental “Mpt” series tires
The technological advancement of self-propelled agricultural machinery has allowed some of these vehicles to find use outside their traditional sectors, opening up new possibilities for their utilization. Road maintenance in summer and winter has long been carried out using tractors, but it is not uncommon to see these same machines also engaged in beach cleaning, riverbank excavation, or transport within construction sites, especially those organized for large-scale projects. In such contexts, the tractor is often highlighted as a self-propelled energy generator. This characteristic can be optimized in terms of performance,…
Read MoreTrelleborg’s specialized range in three families
From an economic perspective, specialized agriculture represents one of the most rewarding sectors when focused on high-quality production. This quality is achieved through a constant effort to promote the vegetative growth of various products, which originates from protecting the soil and respecting its characteristics. In this context, the choice of tires for machines and equipment, which directly interact with the ground by transmitting traction and pressure to it, is crucial. If traction is not well managed by the tire treads, it can lead to unwanted soil damage, especially at the…

Read MoreBkt, continuous expansion: here is the tire called “PowerTrailer Sr 331”
Medium-high power agricultural tractors are known to work on the road for at least half of their life pulling heavy trailers. It is no coincidence that the majority of agricultural tire manufacturers are progressively adding tires characterized by treads that are less aggressive towards the ground and therefore capable of exhibiting lower energy absorption on the road, alongside the classic crampon tyres, a trend that the manufacturers themselves had previously already approached at the level of floating tyres, those used to equip trailers, and which was also recently done by…
Read MoreBkt “RideMax FI 693 M”: tires excellent on the road, perfect in the field
According to the latest industry statistics, a high-power agricultural tractor divides its operating hours 50 percent between field and road. This percentage also applies to agricultural trailers, but often heavily biased towards either road or field at different times. Trailers serving combine harvesters, for example, may cover only a few hundred meters in the field empty to reach the harvester but then travel several kilometers fully loaded to deliver the harvest to the farm. In other cases, the opposite occurs, such as when trailers are self-loading. Consequently, it’s difficult for…
