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

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…

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…
