Claas combines, designed in Europe for Europe

Redazione

In 1936, numerous and epoch-making changes began in the Old Continent. British economist John Maynard Keynes laid the groundwork for transforming Western socio-economic paradigms with the publication of the “General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money,” initiating the so-called “Keynesian revolution” that gave rise to the first form of macroeconomics. This work led to a profound renewal of the society and economic structures of the time, effectively opening the door to development policies still pursued in the West today. An almost comparable milestone in agricultural mechanization was the birth, also…

Jcb “DualTech”, dual in name and in fact

Redazione

One of the key questions that an agricultural organization must address when purchasing a new self-propelled machine concerns the type of transmission. Currently, there are three basic technologies available: mechanical transmission, which serves as the entry-level option; continuous transmission, which is at the top; and hydraulic transmission, which serves as a bridge between the two. Since each type of transmission has its own pros and cons, the choice should be made based on rational considerations and the specific mission profiles that each machine must fulfill. Mechanical transmissions are robust and…

In 1943, Luigi Castoldi, Camillo Bonetti, and Severino Speroni developed the first self-propelled sickle bar mower with oscillating blades in history, a machine labeled “242,” which revolutionized an agricultural sector that, until then, relied primarily on human labor. Over time, the machine was continuously refined and complemented by other motorized mowers. It also gave rise to a series of front-mounted oscillating blade mowers, later followed by front-mounted rotary disc mowers. Decades of Expertise In fact, it can be said that Bcs’s experience in the field of front-mounted mowers boasts more…

Tractors McCormick “X5”, ready for anything

Redazione

Excellent for small farms, those that cannot afford large fleets of machinery and therefore need equipment where versatility is their best asset. However, they are also ideal for medium and large organizations, which, unlike the former, do not skimp on investments in machinery fleets but then need to optimize depreciation times by not diverting high-power tractors from their primary tasks. These include heavy-duty activities in open fields, for instance, or operations using significant equipment and road transport of high-mass trailers. These needs, which differ from those of livestock organizations, can…
