Small is small, there’s no denying it. The new “Mini Agri 20.4 Smart” compact by Dieci, with its width of one and a half meters, combined with a length of just three and a half meters and a height slightly over one meter and ninety centimeters, certainly doesn’t give the impression of being a giant or of being able to withstand heavy and continuous use. In reality, this is precisely its true nature: that of an agricultural telehandler built to endure prolonged efforts and, therefore, capable of operating on multiple…

Krone “5000” pelleting machines, more unique than rare
The first European Directive in favor of animal welfare dates back to 18 November 1974 and concerned the obligation to stun animals before slaughter. Today this may seem trivial, but 50 years ago the animal was not yet considered a sentient being and was therefore treated as a mere object. Since then, various other European initiatives have followed, such as the Amsterdam Protocol on the protection and welfare of animals in 1999. Especially in recent years, laws have come into force on the minimum spaces to be ensured for farmed…
Read MoreClaas “Cmatic” range, variations on the theme
In the field of agricultural mechanization, continuously variable gearboxes represent the mechatronic point of reference as regards power transmission. Their simplicity and immediacy of use, combined with mechanical performances increasingly similar to those offered by traditional powershift gearboxes, have made them a priority choice also by those operators who mainly use their tractors in heavy field activities and therefore until yesterday they tended to favor powershift transmissions. This is mainly due to a design approach based on an epicyclic system that progressively and continuously redistributes the driving torque supplied by…
Read MoreFerrari “Thor K90”: high powers with low investments
The expressions “high power” and “entry level” in almost all motorsport sectors are often in conflict with each other. In fact, it is common practice that as engine performance increases, the equipment of the vehicles also increases and consequently the respective price lists, also due to the fact that the most ambitious customers who are willing to spend to satisfy the pleasure of driving and , why not, even the pleasure of possession. However, this does not mean that the equation “performance = high costs” has an absolute value. At…

Read More“Tm” Jcb telescopic loaders: in media stat virtus
From 18 to 41 quintals. This is the load capacity range offered by the Jcb telescopic wheel loaders available in Italy, a type of machine that currently has a niche market but is gaining popularity thanks to the spread of bioenergy companies. In these contexts, the ability to have robust handling systems that can operate in tight spaces and manage significant loads is strategically crucial for productivity. Telescopic wheel loaders meet these mission profiles well. After feeding the digesters, they can be ballasted as needed and used to compact silage…
Read MoreGoodbye to Ursus tractors, the polish bear goes into hibernation after 131 years
Ursus is the oldest Polish automobile brand, and the company that launched it was initially called “Przemysłowe Towarzystwo Udziałowe.” It was founded in 1893 in Warsaw, at 15 Siena Street, by a small group of entrepreneurs composed of four young men, three engineers, and four businessmen. In the same year, several prominent citizens of Warsaw decided to embark on the same adventure by founding a branch of “Przemysłowe Towarzystwo Udziałowe” focused on producing special fittings. They established it in the Śródmieście area, now the center of Warsaw and the location…
Read MoreCaron “Agile Sprayer”, agile by Nature
The Agricultural Sector is Undergoing a Deep Transformation in Italy and Viticulture is Fully Involved. This is demonstrated by data from the latest General Census of Agriculture, which shows that Italian wine companies have undergone an evolution parallel to that of other sector enterprises in numerical terms, reducing by 68 percent over the twenty years between 2000 and 2020. However, they have differentiated themselves from the sector’s macro trends in production terms, maintaining the cultivated area unchanged in the last decade. Towards Higher Production Quality A transformation towards a more…
Read MoreTractor market in slight recovery
Furio Oldani At the end of March, tractor registrations since the beginning of the year had shown a decline of over 25 percent, causing significant concern in the sector. It was known that the market would decrease with the end of incentives, but no one expected it to do so so significantly and rapidly. However, by May, the decline had already eased, settling at a value slightly above 19 percent, which further improved to just under 17.5 percentage points in June, thirty days later. It is obviously difficult to determine…
Read MoreHorsch “Terrano” cultivators, excellent when time is tight
Although they are highly sustainable practices, no-till seeding and minimum tillage still cover a minority of agricultural land in Italy. Deep tillage can still make sense in many field situations, especially in livestock-intensive provinces where plowing is necessary to incorporate the generous availability of manure, slurry, and digestate. Horsch “Terrano” cultivators: Aaligned with CAP guidelines Even on these farms, however, conservation agriculture can be useful in specific situations, such as when proceeding with second sowings after the mowing of autumn-winter cereals. From mid-May onwards, practices of chopping barley and triticale…
