On the one hand, the development of new technologies aimed at the sustainability of agricultural activities, with the vision of the future of the sector which will be outlined in Osaka on the occasion of Expo 2025. On the other, the evolution of its commercial offer on all the main advanced markets. Innovation at the service of the market It is with this dual interpretation that the moves of the Kubota group can be interpreted in light of both the acquisitions of companies and start-ups dedicated to the design of…

Claas tractor “Xerion 12” wins the “iF Design Award 2024”
The large Claas tractor “Xerion 12” wins the “iF Design Award 2024”. Presented in 2023, their external appearance is mainly characterized by the Y-shaped hood design introduced in 2019 with the Lexion 5000 – 8000. The “Xerion 12” series includes two models, the 12.590 and 12.650, produced for the global market in Terra Trac variants and Trac at the CLAAS plant in Harsewinkel. The new large tractors have been designed taking into account four fundamental characteristics: · Greater profitability thanks to low fuel consumption, low maintenance and wear costs and…
Read More“Onox” by Raumideen, the unconventional electric tractor
One of the most interesting aspects of full electric propulsion lies in its flexibility of installation. Traditional powertrains indeed impose rigid mechanical connections that limit layout possibilities. Electric propulsion, on the other hand, allows for a wider range of design schemes, also due to the possibility of distributing the machine’s power among multiple units onboard where it’s most beneficial. “Onox” by Raumideen, telescopic loaders set the example An example in this regard is the design layout of electric telescopic handlers, propelled by two motors, one for traction and one for…
Read MoreClaas “Trion” range, a combine harvester with solid performance
Held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, from November 30th to December 12th, the 28th edition of the United Nations Conference on Climate Change, abbreviated as “Cop 28,” has repositioned agriculture at the center of the global economic-environmental scenario. The annual meeting of the countries that participated in the event has indeed changed the traditional paradigms of discussion for the first time, omitting both the usual generic and predictable speeches regarding the need to protect the environment and those fanciful proposals for epochal changes that in Europe materialized in the utopian…
Read MoreFpt Industrial and Longen Power have signed a new partnership
Fpt Industrial and Longen Power have signed a global partnership agreement for the export of engines compliant with various emission standards in different regions of the world, thus inaugurating a new phase of collaboration. Fang Tingwang, President of Longen Power, and Riccardo Pavani, Head of China Powertrain Commercial Operations, were present at the signing ceremony. The New Partnership The agreement stipulates that over the next three years, FPT Industrial will supply engines for Longen Power’s gensets, and both companies will collaborate to promote the use and development of power generators…
Read MoreGefran introduces the ultra-compact and multifunction motor control devices, G-Start
Gefran – an Italian multinational specialized in the design and production of sensors, instrumentation for industrial process control, and automation systems – is launching the new modular series of motor starters, G-Start, designed for controlling single and three-phase asynchronous motors up to 3KW, 7A, and 500Vac. Available in three current sizes (0.6A, 2.4A, and 7.0A), the range is characterized by particularly compact dimensions and integrates, in a single device, four specific functionalities: direct motor starting, direction reversal, thermal protection, and motor diagnosis (up to SIL3 and PL”e” certified emergency stop),…
Read MoreWith Dieci’s “Agri Pivot T80,” load management is also automated
Officially, it can move loads of up to 35 quintals and unload bulk materials up to almost four and a half meters in height. It also provides a pulling force of 60 tons and a towing capacity of 66, performance close to those offered by the top-of-the-line telehandler that Dieci offers in its “AgriFarmer” series, the “34.7” model, whose telescopic arm, however, exceeds six meters in height with its joint. Put in these terms and considering that the price difference between a telescopic loader and a telehandler exceeds 40,000 euros,…
Read MoreThe lady in red by Case Ih: here is the “Af11” combine harvester
Initially marketed only in North America, the new top-of-the-line axial combine harvester “Af11” by Case Ih aims to redefine industry performance standards not only in terms of power output but also, and above all, in terms of hourly productivity and automation of operational processes. Based on the latest agricultural censuses in Italy and the United States, the average surface areas of the two primary sectors show incomparable extensions. 188 hectares beyond the Atlantic Ocean, 14 and a half hectares in the Belpaese. An almost abysmal difference that, although known and…
Read MoreKuhn seeders series “Maxima 3” and “Kosma”, precision in their dna
The masses involved are among the operational parameters to be carefully evaluated when choosing equipment. Heavy weights are not always essential, especially if, with the same final result, using lower masses also helps reduce the risks of soil compaction and fuel consumption. This is especially true when using seeders, machines that, depending on the type of work to be done and the soil conditions, must adapt to specific needs in order to always guarantee the best ratio between performance and operating costs. For this reason, Kuhn has tailored its offering…
Read MoreMerlo system “Hi-Flow”
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…
