Pakelo, silent protagonist

Redazione

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…

With McCormick “Hyper Safety View” more safety and efficiency

Redazione

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…

Kuhn “Optimer” and “Vb 7100” series, innovations that reward

Redazione

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…

Bcs “700” series rotary cultivators, precious for over a century

Redazione

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…

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

Redazione

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…

John Deere “6M”, from 120 to 281 horsepower

Redazione

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…
