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…

Package “Precision Ag Essentials” by John Deere

Redazione

In the 1990s, the opening of GPS satellite signals to the public marked a turning point for the primary sector, allowing industry professionals to benefit from continuous and progressive improvements in efficiency and quality of key operations. This technological revolution in precision agriculture has, in more recent times, been complemented by the increasing digitalization of farms, giving rise to the so-called “Agriculture 4.0,” considered by the FAO as the best path to ensure food security for a population now exceeding eight billion people. This strategic approach has been recently embraced…

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…

Last Issue | December 2024

Redazione

The new December issue of Macchine Trattori offers 54 pages of reports relating to Eima 2024, the International Agricultural and Gardening Machinery Exhibition. The cover of the month is dedicated to the Weidemann “T6025” compact lift which, with the presence of the “Vertical Lift System”, facilitates the operator during lifting or lowering of loads. Among the lifts exhibited at Eima also the “Mini Agri-eSmart” by Dieci, a compact full electric telescopic lift that expands the Dieci offer with zero emissions. As for tractors, Kubota celebrated the 50th anniversary of the European division with the launch of…

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…

Continental Technologies becoming increasingly strategic

Redazione

In the agricultural sector, the guiding principle for years has been “sustainability,” a term with countless facets but one that encapsulates the need to operate comprehensively to make farming practices increasingly respectful of the environment. It is obviously difficult to disagree with this necessity, but much harder to pursue it while simultaneously accepting the idea that farms are also expected to increase production while keeping commodity prices stable, despite the constant rise in treatment and fuel costs. Contrasting themes, therefore, which Continental sought to explore to understand how well they…
