Alliance “399” tyres, one is better than two

Redazione

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…

Jcb “Hydradig Pro”: dig, carry and lift

Redazione

On construction sites and in agricultural businesses, the routine activities to be carried out are always highly diverse, and often, unpredictable tasks are added, either due to accidental reasons or the opportunity to supplement income with extraordinary and contingent work. A good example of this is winter road maintenance, which is only needed in the event of heavy snowfall, making it unplannable but offering interesting income opportunities. Ideally, each job would be performed with dedicated equipment, but even in the most structured construction and agricultural companies, this clashes with the need to…

Seppi “Miniforst pick-up cl” shredder, a question of finesse

Redazione

Collecting and removing woody residues from cultivated fields is a problem that affects all those working in specialized agriculture.

This also applies to olive groves and citrus orchards The latter objective is specifically addressed by the renewed “Miniforst pick-up cl” mulcher from Seppi, a hydraulically operated forestry machine aimed at the mechanical processing of pruning residues in specialized environments.…

Claas combines, designed in Europe for Europe

Redazione

In 1936, numerous and epoch-making changes began in the Old Continent. British economist John Maynard Keynes laid the groundwork for transforming Western socio-economic paradigms with the publication of the “General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money,” initiating the so-called “Keynesian revolution” that gave rise to the first form of macroeconomics. This work led to a profound renewal of the society and economic structures of the time, effectively opening the door to development policies still pursued in the West today. An almost comparable milestone in agricultural mechanization was the birth, also…

Jcb “DualTech”, dual in name and in fact

Redazione

One of the key questions that an agricultural organization must address when purchasing a new self-propelled machine concerns the type of transmission. Currently, there are three basic technologies available: mechanical transmission, which serves as the entry-level option; continuous transmission, which is at the top; and hydraulic transmission, which serves as a bridge between the two. Since each type of transmission has its own pros and cons, the choice should be made based on rational considerations and the specific mission profiles that each machine must fulfill. Mechanical transmissions are robust and…
