Fendt combine harvester “Ideal” series, top harvesting

Redazione

Combining hourly productivity, one of the main economic-management parameters of any agricultural machine, with the quality of the final product has now become the primary goal pursued by manufacturers in the harvesting machinery sector. The evolution of markets has increasingly linked the concept of “time” with that of “quality,” with the latter referring both to the harvested crop and its by-products, especially straw.

Kuhn “Btfr” seed drills and “Hr” harrows: virtuous combinations

Redazione

The combination of multiple implements to carry out different but sequential or related tasks in a single pass has become standard practice in the agromechanical field, as it allows for significant time and fuel savings. An example of this is the combination of seeding equipment with tools for soil refinement, a practice that has been common for years and has proven advantageous in terms of reducing both working time, which is halved, and fuel consumption, which significantly decreases, becoming lower than it would be if the two operations were performed…

Krone “Vendro” and “Swadro” series, masters of rotation

Redazione

Continuous improvement. In the Japanese tradition, it’s called by the exotic term “Kaizen,” or more prosaically, in the Italian way, it’s framed by the old but still valid adage “Never rest on your laurels.” Even when those laurels are abundant and might justify a moment of rest. In any case, it’s a business mindset that Krone has always embraced by continually launching new solutions in all its fields of activity.

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…
