Trelleborg Tires Art1000, tracks vs wheels

Redazione

In the agricultural sector and propulsion systems, a gradual shift has been underway for years, with traditional tires giving way to rubber tracks in applications involving high power or vehicles working on extremely soft ground or steep slopes. While this phenomenon is not new—tracks have always been an alternative to tires for providing machines with high traction, ground flotation, and stability—traditional metal tracks had significant functional limitations, restricting their use to specific niche applications. However, the introduction of rubber tracks has radically transformed the situation. Unlike metal tracks, rubber tracks…

Spin.On Elements Fai Filtri: invisible but strategic

Redazione

When discussing the operational fluids within an agricultural machine, engine lubricating oil is often the first to come to mind. However, it is not the only one, as it can be accompanied by transmission oil, hydraulic circuit oil, coolant, and the operational fluid within the air conditioning system, not to mention diesel fuel and urea. A common characteristic of all these fluids is the progressive deterioration of their performance as solid or liquid contaminants infiltrate them. This issue is particularly critical in challenging environments such as engine crankcases or the…

Ferrari e-Astral, there is certainty about the future

Redazione

At Fieragricola 2024, the Bcs Group introduced an electric tractor called “e-Valiant,” mechanically derived from a similar model in the Bcs range. It was the first isodiametric electric tractor to be regularly produced and sold, and it also enabled the Luzzara team to acquire the skills needed to develop an “electric” product line to complement the traditional range. Since it was available for purchase, it also allowed the company to identify potential customer profiles, prompting the brand to consider launching a second model featuring more advanced construction and comfort solutions.…

Tractor market: the clever ones of the tractor

Redazione

Furio Oldani 2024 closes the tractor registrations with a decline of just over 12 percent, a decidedly negative performance, but much less distressing than the “-25.05” recorded at the end of March. In reality, it is common opinion that the market is much more negative than the registration data suggests. If we read the registrations proposed for the month of December alone, we realize that the self-registrations advanced by the dealers had a great influence on the apparent recovery, tractors which are to all intents and purposes registered and therefore…

RideMax Frost tires by Bkt: the snowball effect

Redazione

Snow has a strong affinity for itself, meaning snowflakes naturally tend to bond together with a strength that varies depending on temperature and humidity. It can be said that the lower the temperature, the more the flakes tend to crystallize, turning into ice. An example of this is the so-called “powder snow,” typical of cold and dry Arctic climates. It consists of frozen flakes that, once on the ground, tend to remain separated from each other. Conversely, the so-called “wet snow” occurs in winter in temperate regions when the temperature…

Krone “Gx 520 AgriLiner”, in the field with the truck

Redazione

52 cubic meters of loading and a shock-absorbing conveyor belt connected to a front bulkhead which, if necessary, can help and speed up the unloading of products. These, in summary, are the salient features of the “Gx” series universal trailer trailers proposed by Krone and also the same ones now used by the latest addition to the series, “Gx 520 AgriLiner”, which however differs substantially from other trailers in as equipped with a fifth wheel suitable for attaching it to road tractors. In practice, this combination gives rise to a…
