Goodbye to Ursus tractors, the polish bear goes into hibernation after 131 years

25 July 202425 July 2024 Redazione

Ursus is the oldest Polish automobile brand, and the company that launched it was initially called “Przemysłowe Towarzystwo Udziałowe.” It was founded in 1893 in Warsaw, at 15 Siena Street, by a small group of entrepreneurs composed of four young men, three engineers, and four businessmen. In the same year, several prominent citizens of Warsaw decided to embark on the same adventure by founding a branch of “Przemysłowe Towarzystwo Udziałowe” focused on producing special fittings. They established it in the Śródmieście area, now the center of Warsaw and the location…

Giorgio Galloni Available on the market at prices starting from 80 euros, the replica of the Massey Ferguson “9S.425” tractor is expected to initiate a new direction for Universal Hobbies, known for its extensive catalog of agricultural machines and equipment, though not always faithful to the original. In this specific case, the fidelity to the original is the best feature of the model, perfect in the reduction ratio of the details from any angle you look at it. Even the handrails inside and outside the cab, often criticized, are impeccably…

The Agricultural Sector is Undergoing a Deep Transformation in Italy and Viticulture is Fully Involved. This is demonstrated by data from the latest General Census of Agriculture, which shows that Italian wine companies have undergone an evolution parallel to that of other sector enterprises in numerical terms, reducing by 68 percent over the twenty years between 2000 and 2020. However, they have differentiated themselves from the sector’s macro trends in production terms, maintaining the cultivated area unchanged in the last decade. Towards Higher Production Quality A transformation towards a more…

Furio Oldani At the end of March, tractor registrations since the beginning of the year had shown a decline of over 25 percent, causing significant concern in the sector. It was known that the market would decrease with the end of incentives, but no one expected it to do so so significantly and rapidly. However, by May, the decline had already eased, settling at a value slightly above 19 percent, which further improved to just under 17.5 percentage points in June, thirty days later. It is obviously difficult to determine…

In this article, we present the Top Ten 2023 rankings along with detailed commentary based on national market trends. It is worth noting that approximately 80 percent of the hundred tractors listed are the same models, albeit updated in features and possibly with revised names, that have dominated the Top Ten for years. This indicates a non-explicit traditionalism permeating the sector, contributing to the slow adoption of technical innovations provided by manufacturers. Ranking, Top Ten 2023 tractors Market Leader 2023: New Holland “T5.120” New Holland “T5.120” claimed the top spot,…

“FieldOps” platform by Cnh Industrial: all in One

18 July 202418 July 2024 Redazione

Digitalization is rapidly spreading in the agricultural field, partly because all tractor and equipment manufacturers have long been working on this topic, offering the market more or less original and diversified solutions. However, these activities are giving rise to a proliferation of platforms that do not always communicate with each other or, if they do, not always optimally. If the network fails, the Connection fails All current solutions are also based on the presence of a network, so if for any reason it fails, the connections that allow company centers…

Claas e AgXeed, automation goal in forage harvesting

17 July 202417 July 2024 Redazione

For many farms, forage harvesting is one of the most demanding phases, especially for the first cuts. Before and during mowing, fields must be searched or scanned for wild animals, with operations like mowing, raking, windrowing, and uprooting often occurring simultaneously. In the future, autonomous tractors or AgBots could lighten the workload for many farmers and contractors. Tall-growing crops present a particular challenge, as does the continuous monitoring and assessment of work quality. Together with partners like AgXeed and Thermal Drones, Claas is researching and testing various applications to further…

Although they are highly sustainable practices, no-till seeding and minimum tillage still cover a minority of agricultural land in Italy. Deep tillage can still make sense in many field situations, especially in livestock-intensive provinces where plowing is necessary to incorporate the generous availability of manure, slurry, and digestate. Horsch “Terrano” cultivators: Aaligned with CAP guidelines Even on these farms, however, conservation agriculture can be useful in specific situations, such as when proceeding with second sowings after the mowing of autumn-winter cereals. From mid-May onwards, practices of chopping barley and triticale…

In 1918, at the end of the Great War, Fiat introduced its first agricultural tractor, the “702,” which went into production in 1919 at the Corso Dante plants in the Savoy city. This marked the beginning of an adventure that led the company to become, for some time, the leading European producer and also one of the top global producers. The “702” was powered by a side-valve four-cylinder engine with a displacement of 6,235 cc, running on kerosene, and producing 30 horsepower at 900 rpm. Robust and reliable, as well…

Fendt haymaking range: experience factor

15 July 202419 July 2024 Redazione

On November 11, 1918, in a train carriage stopped in the French forest of Compiègne, the armistice that ended World War I was signed. Over four years of battle then gave way to a slow reconstruction process that impacted a European continent exhausted and worn out by a bloody conflict that had caused millions of deaths. An entire generation of young people was almost completely lost, which dramatically resulted in a labor shortage that agriculture had to address with a significant increase in the demand for machinery. It was in…
