According to George Orwell, the pseudonym of English writer Eric Arthur Blair and one of the literary giants of the twentieth century thanks to the novels Animal Farm and 1984, at fifty, everyone is what they deserve. A direct and straightforward statement, in the style of the English author, which seeks to highlight how only time, understood as a sufficiently long evolutionary journey, can serve as the ultimate judge of becoming. In this perspective, the true essence of what one is emerges independently of external conditions and circumstances, through the…

Krone “Gx 360 Plus, transporting it all
2024 Will Not Be Remembered as the Year of Corn, Whether for Grain or Silage. Heavy rains and resulting waterlogging delayed spring planting, sometimes necessitating replanting. Even second sowings were postponed, causing further drops in final yields. North of the Po River, for example, corn yields fell by 15 to 40 percent compared to 2023, with only the province of Mantua managing, in some cases, to limit declines to within 10 percent. Given the increasing unpredictability of growing seasons, a shift in management approach is overdue, broadening the range of…
Read MoreEngine ibrid Saim, italian-japanese collaboration
Building on its partnership with the Kubota Group, established in 1991, Saim Industrial has decided to enter the electrified propulsion sector and use EIMA 2024 as the premier platform to launch its first hybrid unit. Saim was founded in 1951 with the aim of providing high-quality components to industry, particularly the automotive and marine sectors. In the engine sector, it later created the Saim Industrial division, specializing in the sale and configuration of engines for various applications; in 1991, it became the exclusive distributor of Kubota engines in Italy. Hence,…
Read MoreTestacalda “SuperLandini”, super in every sense
Author: Massimo Misley The 1920s of the Last Century. In the 1920s, after the first appearances of Fiat and Pavesi-Tolotti tractors powered by petroleum engines, it was time for the Bubba, Orsi, and especially the Landini tractors—manufacturers that offered single-cylinder, hot-bulb engine tractors to the market. These were rustic, robust engines capable of burning heavy, low-grade fuels that were cheap, making them ideal for that historical period. The hot-bulb engine itself was not a brand-new invention; it had been patented by British inventors Akroyd and Binney in 1890, used on…
Read More“MiPlus” system by Matermacc, there is no precision without control
Controlling seeding precision via a tablet, whether operating on iOS or Android systems, is possible thanks to the “MiPlus” control system, which can interface with various series in the Matermacc range. Free from wiring, as it transmits information and a graphical interface wirelessly, the system can be managed from a tablet provided by the Friuli-based company, which also grants access to remote assistance, a free service for the first year of use. Standard Iso 7256/1 Operationally, “MiPlus” performs quality checks on the seeding process, following a protocol in accordance with…
Read MoreWith Cummins’ “Next Gen X15” engine a change of pace
Cummins has produced 115,000 engines in the last five years, with a portion installed in over 14,000 pieces of construction equipment. These units cover a power range from 74 to over 700 horsepower, with displacements ranging from three liters and 800 cubic centimeters to 15 liters. These performance characteristics meet the needs of manufacturers of self-propelled agricultural machinery, as they are paired with compact design mechanics, high efficiency, and considerable ease of installation. These features have been particularly pursued in the development of the power and torque curves of the…
Read MorePakelo, silent protagonist
Once, choosing the necessary oil to ensure the functioning of a machine or engine was a relatively straightforward matter. The industry offering was limited, and outside of racing and competitive sports, the performance of the mechanical groups needing protection was modest. However, the technical evolution of machines and engines has slowly changed this reality, leading to a point today where lubrication and grease production is a true science in continuous development, causing fluids to specialize increasingly. Also customized and specific fluids “To succeed today in the lubrication sector,” states Alberto…
Read MoreWith McCormick “Hyper Safety View” more safety and efficiency
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…
Read MoreKuhn “Optimer” and “Vb 7100” series, innovations that reward
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…
Read MoreBcs “700” series rotary cultivators, precious for over a century
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…
