With McCormick “Hyper Safety View” more safety and efficiency

Redazione

Workplace accidents are one of the most serious unresolved issues in Italian society. According to the latest Eurostat data, Italy unfortunately holds the unenviable record for the highest number of workplace fatalities in Europe, the tip of an iceberg that recorded nearly 500,000 reported injuries in Italy in 2023. This is a problem often discussed, but only during dramatic and sensational events, without adequate preventive policies following. Among the hardest-hit productive sectors is the primary sector, where injury rates are significantly higher than the national average. In fact, around 30,000…

Kuhn “Optimer” and “Vb 7100” series, innovations that reward

Redazione

In the field of agricultural mechanization, the development of new solutions has essentially focused for decades on material selection and improvements to structural components, aiming to achieve ever-higher performance and robustness. Only in relatively recent times have designers shifted their attention to design, and most recently, to the possibility of implementing electrical and digital management systems to enhance efficiency. It is these latest solutions that have also allowed for rapid advancements in operational automation, bringing significant benefits in terms of work precision and operator safety. Kuhn, in particular, has moved…

Bcs “700” series rotary cultivators, precious for over a century

Redazione

Fundamental in post-World War II Italy as pillars of agricultural mechanization still in its infancy, tillers remain a strategic resource for many entrepreneurs in the sector. Italy boasts highly diverse geographical features, combining vast flat expanses or gently sloping areas with more rugged agricultural regions, leading to the concept of “heroic agriculture” when farming takes place under extreme conditions on small plots of land. Examples of heroic agriculture include lemon groves along the Amalfi Coast and lentils from Castelluccio di Norcia, cultivated in rocky fields. However, this concept particularly applies…

Merlo “Tfe43.7”, electric progressions

Redazione

After presenting the concept in November 2023 at Agritechnica, the Merlo group is showcasing the “Tfe43.7” at Eima, the first medium-capacity Merlo telehandler powered electrically and capable of competing with traditional machines in terms of performance. Merlo is taking another step forward in refining its “Zero Generation” product line, which encompasses machines powered electrically. Following the compact “e-Worker” series, now also available with lithium batteries as an alternative to the standard lead-acid ones, and the “Cingo M600A-e” mover, which is currently being tested in an autonomous configuration, it is now…

“Fast Attach” system by Dieci, everything in ten seconds

Redazione

One of the reasons behind the commercial success of telescopic handlers lies in their versatility. They are machines that can perform a myriad of tasks both in the field and on the road simply by changing the attachment at the end of the arm. Until now, this operation had to be done by the operator exiting the cabin. Time is the key factor The mechanical connection of the attachment to the arm could be accomplished by appropriately maneuvering the machine to facilitate the attachment, but the hydraulic and electrical connections…

Claas “Scorpion” model year 2024, generational leap

Redazione

The Claas “Scorpion” series telescopic handlers, available in light and medium ranges, are the result of a recent and significant renewal process aimed at ensuring the best operational efficiency with lifting capacities ranging from 3,300 to 4,200 kilograms, complemented by maximum working heights that can reach up to ten meters. Deep revisitation Telescopic handlers have become indispensable tools in modern agriculture. Until a few years ago, tractors equipped with traditional front loaders were sufficient for handling tasks on the farm. Today, specific machines are necessary to accelerate increasingly intensive daily…

Landini “Rex4 Energy”, there’s no two without three

Redazione

Argo Tractors continues its research to explore possibilities for electrification in its tractors. After the “Rex Electra” hybrid prototype introduced in 2021 and the “Rex4 Full Hybrid” concept in 2022, the spotlight is now on the “Rex4 Energy.” In 2021, “Rex Electra” was designed to explore the application of hybrid traction systems in tractors—systems that move a vehicle partly through mechanical and partly through electric power. This solution has already gained wide application in the automotive sector and underpins the powertrains of the latest Jeep models. “Rex Electra” was equipped…

John Deere “6M”, from 120 to 281 horsepower

Redazione

For years, John Deere 6M tractors have been at the top of the market. Last year, two models, the “6120 M” and “6155 M,” topped their respective performance categories, with the former even ranking fourth overall across all tractors, placing it first among multi-purpose models, just behind specialized and compact tractors. When it comes to well-structured farms or large field applications requiring medium-to-high power levels, the 6M series is a preferred choice for Italian agricultural businesses—a staple in the sector that John Deere updated in June to enhance both features…

Eima 2024, technical news in the name of innovation

Redazione

According to Austrian economist Joseph Schumpeter, innovation represents “the practical application of an invention or discovery.” Accepting this 1911 definition, innovation becomes inseparably linked to commercialization, generating benefits that, in turn, drive social progress. Strategic steps This implies that behind every innovation lies a long series of scientific, technological, organizational, financial, and commercial processes that collectively bring a new product, technology, or service to the market, making it accessible to end users. Based on this understanding, one can only appreciate the continuous encouragement of innovation by FederUnacoma, the organization representing…
