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…

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…

The 50 year value for Cm elevators

Redazione

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

Redazione

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…

Testacalda SuperLandini, super in every sense

Redazione

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…
