Farmers’ protests, the point with the spotlights off

27 May 202420 January 2025 Redazione

The farmers’ protests against the most absurd regulations proposed by the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) began in Germany a few months ago when Olaf Scholz’s government decided to eliminate subsidies for agricultural diesel. The fuel issue was merely the spark for a protest that quickly spread across Europe with partly local motivations but two common denominators. One was linked to the Common Agricultural Policy, characterized by the “Green New Deal” program primarily developed by Dutchman Frans Timmermans and supported by the current European government. ù Another point of contention was…

A demonstration of balance The German tractor excelled in almost all test areas, indicating an operational balance that few other tractors can match. It should be noted that the Dlg tests are the most rigorous a tractor can face. They last…

Agriculture before the tractor

15 May 202415 May 2024 Redazione

The history of agricultural mechanization is closely linked to that of the tractor. However, the tractor was the result of an evolution that began in the very early 1700s when steam engines began to spread, units which for the industrialization of the Western World can be considered akin to the “Big Bang” that gave rise to the Universe. The first agricultural tractors produced in limited series appeared in the United States in 1892 but were called “gasoline traction engines” or “traction engines.” A few years later, at the beginning of…

Collinear or plain and of industrial or family sizes, Italian farms represent one of the most diversified agricultural and zootechnical production landscapes in Europe. In addition to this entrepreneurial reality, there are professional subcontractors who, by their very mission, are compelled to meet the most diverse requests from clients. In fact, it is a true productive universe with highly varied haymaking needs that can only be met through specialized equipment with diverse technological, performance, and operational characteristics. Krone round baler: the top is the “Varipack” series Confirming this diverse offering…

Pakelo, red and italian

10 May 202416 July 2024 Redazione

Strange people, the Italians. Almost 69 million individuals ready to celebrate and chant patriotism when the National Football Team wins an international tournament, yet they live as strangers under the same roof in their daily lives without the slightest nationalistic anxiety. Apart from a few productive sectors, primarily automotive, clothing, and high-end food, the average Italian often regards most domestic products as qualitatively inferior to foreign competitors. This mindset has no logical basis and particularly affects the agricultural mechanization sector. In this field, Made in Italy is actually considered a…

Bkt, continuous expansion: here is the tire called “PowerTrailer Sr 331”

9 May 202413 September 2024 Redazione

Medium-high power agricultural tractors are known to work on the road for at least half of their life pulling heavy trailers. It is no coincidence that the majority of agricultural tire manufacturers are progressively adding tires characterized by treads that are less aggressive towards the ground and therefore capable of exhibiting lower energy absorption on the road, alongside the classic crampon tyres, a trend that the manufacturers themselves had previously already approached at the level of floating tyres, those used to equip trailers, and which was also recently done by…

Tractor brand “Ursus” closes

8 May 20248 May 2024 Redazione

The Polish brand “Ursus” leaves the scene. Born in 1893, he was for a long time a protagonist of the agricultural mechanization of Eastern Europe, but for some time he had entered into a debt spiral which on March 14 last induced the owners of the Dutch mixer wagon manufacturer Trioliet not to oppose the proposal bankruptcy filed in the Warsaw court by creditors Getin Noble Bank and Pko Bp. Now the entire production assets and the rights relating to the Ursus brand have been auctioned with a starting price…

Only two events will remain of agricultural mechanization

7 May 20247 May 2024 Redazione

Hard times for everyone, either due to economic problems or for war reasons. In all the most important manufacturing sectors, sales are going slowly and in the absence of incentives there are fears that many production organizations will not be able to overcome the stress to which they are subjected. Only two events will remain of agricultural mechanization Confirmation is provided by the trend of sector and non-sector trade fairs, with the former all experiencing a downward reclassification, moving, when things go well, from international to national and from national…
