Launched in 1977, Case IH’s “Axial Flow” combine harvester series quickly established themselves in the market as machines capable of operating on a variety of crops at speeds impossible for direct competitors, thus setting higher productivity standards. In addition to this advantage, they also exhibited a strong respect for grain and straw, which more recently extended to soil conservation through the option of replacing front wheels with hydraulic suspended track systems, optionally coupled with a hydraulic propulsion system acting on the rear wheels. Equipped with these features, the machines not…

Precise and efficient, the Kverneland “Pudama” system is combined with the “Optima” series pneumatic seeders and allows 25 percent reductions in fertilizers used in localized fertilization at sowingAccording to the goals set by Europe, fertilizer applications will need to be reduced by twenty percent by 2030. However, a fifth less of nutrient inputs could have significant impacts on final crop yields, so ideas are needed to produce more while using fewer fertilizers, as demanded by food demand. The only way to meet this challenge is to use what remains available…

There are individuals who constantly find themselves in a psychological state that leads them to consider themselves inferior to their peers. They suffer from the so-called “inferiority complex,” a genuine pathology that in severe cases can lead to withdrawal, the opposite of what happens to those who instead suffer from the “superiority complex,” becoming intrusive and unpleasant individuals. In both cases, the term “complex” thus carries a negative connotation, a connotation that does not emerge when discussing plant nutrition, an area where it is easy to find “complexes” with particularly…

Interfit, value added assistance

Redazione

It is well known that tire efficiency directly affects performance and fuel consumption in any application, thus influencing overall productivity. For this reason, machine manufacturers, especially tractor manufacturers, always conduct extensive homologation tests before offering their customers a specific set of tires, ensuring that the tires in question best match the characteristics of the machines they will be mounted on. However, it is true that in agricultural settings, certainties are rare commodities, and there is no agricultural or livestock farm that does not have to deal with specific operational situations.…

Kuhn Mixer Mulchers, Large Capacities for Large Farms

Redazione

Italian beef and dairy cattle farms are undergoing a transformation. While the absolute number of farms isdecreasing, the average number of animals per farm is increasing. This trend is leading to a gradual declinein less structured farms, often those with lower levels of technology, in favor of larger organizationscapable of optimizing the cost-to-revenue ratio through investments in both mechanization and per-capitaproduction efficiency. This assertion, particularly concerning dairy cattle, is supported by data published bythe European Commission. In Italy, the number of dairy cows decreased from 1,822,000 in 2015 to1,639,000 in…

As the croupiers say when they release the ball on the roulette wheel, “le jeux sont fait.” The games are over, and from that moment on, no one can move or add chips to the table. An expression that also applies to the registered tractors at the end of the year, meaning that the volumes published on this page are final and paint a rather uninspiring picture for the sector.Indeed, the market closes the year with a slowdown in registrations approaching 13 percent, with no prospects of recovery in sight…
