Merlo system “Hi-Flow”

Redazione

When an agricultural machine has a hydraulic system designed to operate external equipment, it is customary for the system to always maintain this circuit at a minimum working pressure called “standby pressure”, which is necessary to ensure immediate responses to energy demands from operators. This pressure is normally higher than the minimum working pressure and is activated within a few seconds after the machine in question has been started. It is then maintained if the hydraulic system is not used until the machine is turned off. This results in continuous…

Redazione

In 1880, Giulio Gianetti, a merchant in iron and steel profiles and hardware, founded the “Società Anonima Giulio Gianetti” in Saronno, in the province of Varese but near Milan.

The success of production in 1913 led Gianetti to open a new plant in Ceriano Laghetto, a location near Saronno, to accommodate various types of processing necessary…

Tractor market january-march 2024: all as expected

Redazione

“Income contraction in agriculture, monetary tightening, geopolitical uncertainty, and inflation have influenced the performance of the agromechanical market in the first quarter of the year.” This is how FederUnacoma, the association of agricultural machinery manufacturers, introduced the data on tractor registrations recorded by the Motorization in the first three months of the year. The organization identifies four reasons behind a decline exceeding 25 percent, and indeed, they all hold true. However, there are two other equally significant reasons.

Higher levels of automation An innovative path that, with due proportion, John Deere has long embarked on in the segment of large self-propelled harvesters and has been…

Bkt “RideMax FI 693 M”: tires excellent on the road, perfect in the field

Bkt "RideMax FI 693 M"

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…

Redazione
ferrari stellar 85 rs

Specialized isodiametric tractors are so named because they have all wheels of the same diameter or very close diameters. What sets them apart from traditional tractors are their shorter wheelbases, making them highly maneuverable, and a more balanced weight distribution when carrying equipment. This is because the engine’s overhang relative to the front axle balances the weight of the equipment carried over the rear axle. When the equipment is in contact with the ground, the overhanging engine eliminates or greatly reduces the need to weight the front end with ballast.…
