After launching its first electric tractor, the “e100 V Vario” in 2023, Fendt is back at Eima with the “e100 Vario,” a compact machine derived from the specialized model. With a width of 216 centimeters, it’s suitable for a wide range of tasks—agricultural, specialized, and industrial. Fendt introduced its first electric tractor in 2017, but waited six years, until 2023, to officially release it under the name “e100 V Vario.” Just 107 centimeters wide, this machine is designed primarily for use in narrow, high-value vineyards. A year later, Fendt follows…

Nobili sprayers “H-Fan” series, multi-vane effectiveness
By relocating the pump within the machine’s overall architecture and making the fan groups vertically adjustable, Nobili’s technicians focused on two main improvements when developing the new “H-Fan” sprayers. These are towed machines, ISOBUS-compatible, designed for crop protection in orchards and vineyards, and have been recognized as a technical innovation at Eima 2024. Equipped with 1,000-liter capacity tanks, they feature a hydraulically driven fan mounted on a height-adjustable system. This allows for vertical movements of up to 700 millimeters, increasing the sprayer’s adaptability to the shape of the crop canopy,…

Read MoreSeppi river mulchers, allies of the territory
The images of the bridge over the Lamone River in Romagna, blocked by tons of logs and branches carried by a flood that caused yet another overflow of water onto the surrounding lands, will remain long in memory. These damages could have been avoided, or at least greatly reduced, with better maintenance of the riverbanks and the vegetation growing on them—tasks that can only be addressed with equipment specifically developed to quickly remove both herbaceous and woody material, even of large size. This is the mission profile targeted by the…
Read MoreCaron “Ec70”, a jolt of energy
Over the last five years, electrification processes in the field of agricultural mechanization in Europe have evolved rapidly. The technological progress achieved with the experience gained in the automotive sector, the growing attention towards the environmental sustainability of production cycles and the increasingly stringent regulations for the reduction of polluting emissions have in fact accelerated this path, giving impetus to new solutions which through different architectures, hybrid, plug-in and full electric, also promise to improve the efficiency of the machines and reduce management costs. Wide margins for growth This has…
Read MoreAgricultural modelling, the Grumello Cremonese fair is enriched with dioramas
The agricultural modeling fair in Grumello Cremonese is increasingly becoming a key event for sector enthusiasts every year. This is confirmed not only by the presence of around forty exhibitors, 25 percent more than in past editions, but also by the large number of visitors, often attracted more by the accompanying party, but then enchanted by the dioramas and models. Among these in particular are two self-propelled vehicles built by Domenico Fornari, a “SuperLandini” and a Fiat “70 C”, which attracted both the attention of model makers for the precision…
Read MoreTractor market, something is moving
If it is true that numbers don’t lie, it seems that the tractor market crisis is slowly resolving. Compared to the terrible “minus 25.05%” at the end of March 2024, the registrations at the end of September have indeed recovered nearly ten points, closing at “minus 15.52%” with a trend of further improvement. This is also confirmed by the outlook of the European Agricultural Machinery Association, abbreviated as “CEMA.” Every month, they survey European entrepreneurs to assess their concerns and expectations, and in October, they noted a slight increase in…
Read MoreIntelligent irrigation with “xIdro”
The ongoing climate changes have changed the approach to irrigation. If once upon a time it was possible to give regular rainfall, today this is no longer the case. Precisely for this reason xFarm Technologies has developed the new “xIdro” intelligent irrigation system, a solution composed of an IoT device, which can be used individually or in a network to control pumps, solenoid valves and transducers, and a software module present in the app xFarm. The “Automatic Irrigation” module in fact allows the configuration of the hydraulic system directly from…
