Fast and efficient, thanks to solutions that further raise the bar of productivity while ensuring maximum ease of management and maintenance. This, in summary, is what the new Vicon brand fixed chamber baler, the Vicon “FixBale 500 Sc-15,” promises. To keep this promise, the machine starts with the generous “XL+” pickup, 230 centimeters wide, consisting of five tine bars with 32 tines each. These operate smoothly thanks to four ball bearings arranged along its length and the windrow compression roller that compresses the material, uniforming and facilitating its flow towards…

The productivity of Italian dairy cattle has been steadily increasing over recent decades, both in terms of quantity and quality. Alongside genetic selection, improved veterinary care and refined nutritional techniques have contributed to this growth, providing increasingly rich rations while ensuring maximum digestibility. Various types of hay, whether from grasses, legumes, or mixed, can also contribute to this goal, provided they meet certain requirements in terms of dry matter and overall cleanliness. In this regard, the timeliness and technical quality of mowing, and the subsequent practices of aeration and final…

The Bcs Group was founded in 1943 with the goal of manufacturing and marketing mechanical mowers capable of replacing human labor in forage mowing operations. Since then, the Group has continuously worked on issues related to grass cutting. Today, this effort is not limited to single-axle or mounted mowers but extends to a range of machines and equipment aimed at the professional maintenance of green areas, all under the “Ma.Tra” range. Five Models for Varied Needs There are five models, two of which are designed for the care of medium…

A continuous thread unites the evolution of the Claas brand from its origins to the present day: quality. This hallmark has been represented since the early decades of the 20th century by the balers designed and developed by the company in Harsewinkel. This quality stems particularly from an innovative tying system patented in 1921 by August Claas, the company’s founder, and remains the cornerstone of the German Group’s forage harvester range over a century later. Both the variable chamber “Variant” balers and the fixed chamber “Rollant” models share a primary…

Collinear or plain and of industrial or family sizes, Italian farms represent one of the most diversified agricultural and zootechnical production landscapes in Europe. In addition to this entrepreneurial reality, there are professional subcontractors who, by their very mission, are compelled to meet the most diverse requests from clients. In fact, it is a true productive universe with highly varied haymaking needs that can only be met through specialized equipment with diverse technological, performance, and operational characteristics. Krone round baler: the top is the “Varipack” series Confirming this diverse offering…

The masses involved are among the operational parameters to be carefully evaluated when choosing equipment. Heavy weights are not always essential, especially if, with the same final result, using lower masses also helps reduce the risks of soil compaction and fuel consumption. This is especially true when using seeders, machines that, depending on the type of work to be done and the soil conditions, must adapt to specific needs in order to always guarantee the best ratio between performance and operating costs. For this reason, Kuhn has tailored its offering…

Reducing company costs while simultaneously increasing efficiency and productivity is the ambition of every agricultural entrepreneur. Certain practices in the field lend themselves excellently to this goal, particularly those carried out through triple-function work sites, allowing for refining, seeding, and fertilizing without prior mechanical processing or pre-emergence weed control applications. This “all-in-one” approach significantly reduces diesel consumption and labor costs. Three specific solutions from Horsch are aimed at these objectives, which can be combined to form a single efficient and productive work site. Farmers prepare the land Addressing surface soil…

Telescopic handlers continue to thrive in the commercial arena despite challenges in agricultural mechanization. While tractor registrations saw a nearly 13 percent decline in 2023, telescopic handler registrations only dipped by three and a half percentage points, going from 1,181 machines in 2022 to 1,141 last year. This is a noteworthy volume considering that registrations were only at 726 in 2018. Dominating the market then and now are machines capable of lifting the pivot point of the arm between nine and ten meters, heights allowing for stacking up to six/seven…
