Eima 2024, the event of innovation

Redazione

Furio Oldani 346,800 attendees, 63,100 of whom came from over 150 countries, gathered in Bologna between November 6 and 10 to admire, touch, and, in many cases, purchase over 60,000 products, including machinery and components showcased by more than 1,750 exhibitors. These certified figures confirm that the Bologna exposition of agricultural mechanics is not only a global benchmark event but also a key moment to reflect on potential technological advancements in agricultural mechanization, regardless of market conditions. The latter, in this case, were and still are not particularly promising due…

The Bcs “Ws” series mowers, impossibile in dna

Redazione

The BCS “WS” series mowers sit at the top of a range that spans nine different models. These machines are super-professional, designed for continuous operation in challenging terrains that cannot be handled by mounted or trailed equipment. First designed in 1943 and launched shortly thereafter, Bcs single-axle mowers revolutionized the forage sector, effectively starting its mechanization. Over time, these machines were joined by more powerful equipment operating with tractor-driven systems, which, however, are only suited for large, flat, or gently sloping forage fields where tractors and large harvesters can operate…

Landini’s “Trekker4 Energy” tracked vehicle, the prototype you don’t expect

Redazione

Two anniversaries, vastly different and celebrated in almost opposite corners of the globe, together encapsulate the industrial paths that can credibly and practically support the energy transition—a process often hailed as the remedy to environmental woes. In Toyota, Aichi Prefecture, the eponymous industrial group marked 30 years since the advent of hybrid propulsion, a milestone introduced by the Japanese automaker through a project initiated in 1994. Meanwhile, in Bologna, Landini celebrated its 140th anniversary by advancing its feasibility studies on hybridization in agricultural machinery with two prototypes that herald new…

Panelli “Rhx” series electric pumps: the pinnacle of radial technology

Redazione

With the increasing Intensification of environmental challenges, agricultural and Industrial sectors often face prolonged droughts with severe water reserve reductions. In such conditions, innovative solutions for managing water reserves and basins are imperative, making electric pumps a key tool for optimizing the recovery and use of these resources. To address the climatic challenges of today and tomorrow, Panelli, a company based in Alessandria and part of the Pedrollo Group, introduced a new range of radial electric pumps, the “Rhx” series, during Eima 2024. These pumps represent the pinnacle of technology…

Caron “Ec70”, virtuous explorations

Redazione

The fully electric transporter “Ec70”, presented by Caron in Bologna, aims to assess the applicability of zero-emission propulsion in specific operational contexts. This environmentally virtuous approach, however, does not come at the expense of the machine’s operational capabilities. Exploring new propulsion solutions to address energy transition policies in a way best suited to each specific operational need—this is the design philosophy behind the “Ec70” transporter. Premiered at Eima 2024 by Caron, this fully electric prototype was developed by the Vicenza-based company to evaluate the feasibility of zero-emission propulsion, particularly in…

Weidemann “T6025”: compact only in size

Redazione

The range of Weidemann telehandlers expanded in early November with the launch of the “T6025” model, positioned between the “T7035” model and the ultra-compact “T4512,” the latter also available in an electric version. At first glance, the new machine might seem like a simple addition to fill the performance gap between the two aforementioned models in terms of capacity and height. However, it is actually another declaration of war by Weidemann against competitors, already challenged in the seven- and nine-meter height classes and now also targeting the highly popular six-meter…

Alliance tires “Agriflex 372,” “Agristar II,” and “Al 590”: field performance confirmed

Redazione

Testing a Tire with Potential Users is the Best Way to Assess Commercial Potential. Allowing potential users to test a tire is the best method to evaluate the commercial potential of the product in question. However, it comes with risks. If the product fails to meet expectations, word spreads instantly, and it becomes impossible to stop the associated buzz. This concern explains the hesitation of some manufacturers when asked to field-test their tires—a task that is also demanding in terms of logistics and costs. However, Alliance has not shied away…

Argo Tractors, working with the business in your pocket

Redazione

The ever-faster evolution of electronic and information technologies is revolutionizing all production sectors, progressively replacing human labor with robotic and autonomous solutions. This trend is characterized by a pronounced self-accelerating nature, which has now also reached the agricultural mechanization sector. Once dominated by mechanics and hydraulics, this field is increasingly embracing digitalization and informatics. From Energy Source to Business System Two technologies are transforming tractors into integrated components of a broader “business system,” where production efficiency can be optimized almost in real-time. An example of this evolution is the “MyLandini”…

Titan “Lw”, stress-free mounting

Redazione

The Need to Protect Agricultural Land by Minimizing Compaction Caused by Machinery. The necessity of protecting agricultural land by minimizing soil compaction caused by machinery and equipment has led to both an increase in tire sizes and the development of tires designed to operate at low pressures, even below one bar. In both cases, the ultimate goal is to maximize the contact area of the tread to ensure lower specific pressures for a given load. The underlying idea is sound, but to make it a reality, these specially designed wheels…

Horsch “Versa” seeders, each seed is positioned perfectly

Redazione

Meeting Diverse Needs with Tailored Solutions developing a single seeding solution that can adapt to the vast variety of farm sizes and types is a challenging task. For this reason, manufacturers create machine series in which each model meets specific local needs. This approach is also followed by Horsch, whose “Versa” series provides a professional solution for large-scale operations and contractors. Notably, the “Versa 6 SW” stands out as a trailed seed drill paired with a “Kredo” rotary harrow. This model offers an impressive working width of six meters but…
