Ferrari e-Astral, there is certainty about the future

Redazione

At Fieragricola 2024, the Bcs Group introduced an electric tractor called “e-Valiant,” mechanically derived from a similar model in the Bcs range. It was the first isodiametric electric tractor to be regularly produced and sold, and it also enabled the Luzzara team to acquire the skills needed to develop an “electric” product line to complement the traditional range. Since it was available for purchase, it also allowed the company to identify potential customer profiles, prompting the brand to consider launching a second model featuring more advanced construction and comfort solutions.…

Tractor market: the clever ones of the tractor

Redazione

Furio Oldani 2024 closes the tractor registrations with a decline of just over 12 percent, a decidedly negative performance, but much less distressing than the “-25.05” recorded at the end of March. In reality, it is common opinion that the market is much more negative than the registration data suggests. If we read the registrations proposed for the month of December alone, we realize that the self-registrations advanced by the dealers had a great influence on the apparent recovery, tractors which are to all intents and purposes registered and therefore…

“RideMax Frost” tires by Bkt: the snowball effect

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…

UniBo-Dig Certification | Engine comparison benchmarks

Redazione

Below is an overview of the engines powering these machines and the field test results they delivered. It’s important to note that any differences between declared and actual performance stem from the fact that declared values are measured at the flywheel, while actual results are recorded at the power take-off, subject to mechanical energy losses inherent to each machine. Case IH “Puma 240 CvxDrive,” FPT Industrial “N67” The six-cylinder Fpt Industrial “N67” engines in the “Puma 240 CvxDrive” have a displacement of 6,700 cc and are among the most widely…

Microsoft-Crea agreement: codes always in play

Redazione

Genetic code and binary code join forces to enhance scientific research. The former relies on precise combinations of purine and pyrimidine bases, while the latter consists of sequences of zeros and ones. These two different ways of storing information may soon interact, accelerating advancements in genetic research. An agreement to this effect has been signed between Microsoft and Crea (the Council for Agricultural Research and Economics) to apply artificial intelligence solutions developed in Redmond, USA, to the “Pangenome” project. This collaboration will significantly boost the efficiency of decoding agricultural crop…
