The replacement of engine oil is the first and most important form of maintenance that must be performed to ensure the full functionality of an agricultural or industrial machine. In fact, it is also a contractual obligation imposed by manufacturers to protect their equipment when covered by warranty. However, simple oil replacement, along with the replacement of filter cartridges, is merely a precautionary measure and provides no diagnostic value unless the operation is combined with periodic fluid analyses aimed at detecting the presence of solid or liquid compounds resulting from…

Read MoreAlliance “399” tyres, one is better than two
In the agricultural field it is not uncommon for, in addition to traditional self-propelled vehicles, there is also space for compact earthmoving machines, in particular backhoe loaders and excavators, when the need arises to modify farm surfaces for the most varied reasons. Levelling, rationalization of access, canalisation, drainage and so on. In such situations – and also in the case of having to deal with demanding environmental maintenance such as, for example, the deforestation of embankments and docks – backhoe loaders and excavators come into action, vehicles which, if brought…

Yokohama, acquisitions…
Read MoreBkt forestry tyres, three specific series for forestry
Wooded areas are one of the most difficult natural environments to approach in terms of economic management. In fact, they present themselves with connotations that significantly hinder the possibilities of mechanization of activities, starting from the dense and disorderly vegetation which severely limits the movements of men and machines up to the irregular and uneven surfaces which are often characterized by accentuated inclinations. As if that were enough, these limitations are then combined with the continuous presence of obstacles that put the robustness of the propulsion and traction systems of…

Also tires in bar 65 There are…
Read MorePakelo lubricants for agriculture, solid and strong bases
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…
Read MoreTitan, 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…
