Read More“Cingo M600A-e” by Merlo, the autonomous sprayer for specialized crops
It is a common opinion that the automation of agricultural machinery will lead to an almost complete revision of their current design layouts. Confirming this, a recent Bosch study, sponsored by the German Ministry of Economic Affairs and aimed at the automotive sector, suggests that future autonomous vehicles will have little in common with current ones, both in terms of structures, occupant accommodation, and driving. In fact, cars will essentially become “mobile spaces” where passengers can engage in their activities without worrying about driving. It is easy to predict that,…

Read MoreTractors McCormick “X5”, ready for anything
Excellent for small farms, those that cannot afford large fleets of machinery and therefore need equipment where versatility is their best asset. However, they are also ideal for medium and large organizations, which, unlike the former, do not skimp on investments in machinery fleets but then need to optimize depreciation times by not diverting high-power tractors from their primary tasks. These include heavy-duty activities in open fields, for instance, or operations using significant equipment and road transport of high-mass trailers. These needs, which differ from those of livestock organizations, can…
