The Landini “Rex4” specialist tractor range is one of the most extensive on the market. It covers a power range, in increments of ten units, from 80 to 120 horsepower. It offers both cab and open configurations, with four different minimum working widths starting from just one meter, six different transmissions, and working heights at the steering wheel that can go as low as 128 centimeters. Added to these choices are options for suspended front axles, which create standalone models, and for cab models, the possibility of class 4 homologated…

Steyr “FcTrac”, the future is hydrogen
While electric energy seems to be a viable alternative or auxiliary propulsion for cars and trucks, the same cannot be said for agricultural machinery, particularly tractors, due to the wide variability of their applications. As a result, there are currently no satisfactory solutions for achieving zero-emission operation for tractors, nor do battery-based electric drives meet the market’s requirements for acceptable autonomy and operating and refueling times. Nevertheless, all manufacturers are working on this issue, especially those more environmentally conscious like Steyr. During the 45th edition of the “International Vienna Motor”…
Read MoreJohn Deere “5ML” series tractors: ideal for orchards and vineyards
With widths ranging from 155 to 180 centimeters and weighing around 4,000 kilograms, the new John Deere “5ML” series tractors are specifically designed for activities in wide orchards or vineyards, as well as for operations involving high-value crops in general. However, this is not their only mission profile. These machines offer maximum power outputs between 110 and 135 horsepower, allowing them to handle farm maintenance tasks and light fieldwork, especially forage-related activities. Not just specialized tractors, but highly versatile machines that, thanks to their technological features, can handle a variety…
Read MoreHigh-End McCormick Tractors “X7.6” and “X8 Vt-Drive”
Italy is known for being one of the most important countries in the production of agricultural tractors. It is home to over 50 percent of the industry’s brands, a percentage that further increases when homologated telescopic handlers are included. The machines manufactured in the Belpaese are also renowned for their mechanical reliability and overall build quality, attributes that contribute to approximately 70 percent of the production being sold abroad, with Europe absorbing around 56 percent of the exports and the Americas about 19 percent. High-End McCormick Tractors: not a Country…
Read MoreFendt “728 Vario Gen7”, results like a king
First in average performance and first in fuel efficiency. But also first in comfort level and ease of management. The tests conducted by the German agricultural machinery testing and analysis organization “Dlg” on new market entries have left no doubts in the case of the Fendt “728 Vario Gen7”. A demonstration of balance The German tractor excelled in almost all test areas, indicating an operational balance that few other tractors can match. It should be noted that the Dlg tests are the most rigorous a tractor can face. They last…
Read MoreWith Ferrari “Vega” series model year 2024 only the best
Renewed in technical content and functional solutions, Ferrari’s top-of-the-line isodiametric tractors, the “Vega” series, find their most evolved and comprehensive offer in the “Vega 85” models. They are available in four versions: articulated, steering, “DualSteer,” and “Mt,” and boast all the latest technologies developed by Bcs Group. Technical innovation combined with product diversification has always been one of the prerogatives that have allowed the Bcs Group to play a leading role in the agricultural mechanization sector over the past 80 years. An industrial philosophy that encompasses all commercial areas covered…
Read MoreTractor brand “Ursus” closes
The Polish brand “Ursus” leaves the scene. Born in 1893, he was for a long time a protagonist of the agricultural mechanization of Eastern Europe, but for some time he had entered into a debt spiral which on March 14 last induced the owners of the Dutch mixer wagon manufacturer Trioliet not to oppose the proposal bankruptcy filed in the Warsaw court by creditors Getin Noble Bank and Pko Bp. Now the entire production assets and the rights relating to the Ursus brand have been auctioned with a starting price…
Read MoreKubota “M6001 Utility” series: European focus
On the one hand, the development of new technologies aimed at the sustainability of agricultural activities, with the vision of the future of the sector which will be outlined in Osaka on the occasion of Expo 2025. On the other, the evolution of its commercial offer on all the main advanced markets. Innovation at the service of the market It is with this dual interpretation that the moves of the Kubota group can be interpreted in light of both the acquisitions of companies and start-ups dedicated to the design of…
Read More“Onox” by Raumideen, the unconventional electric tractor
One of the most interesting aspects of full electric propulsion lies in its flexibility of installation. Traditional powertrains indeed impose rigid mechanical connections that limit layout possibilities. Electric propulsion, on the other hand, allows for a wider range of design schemes, also due to the possibility of distributing the machine’s power among multiple units onboard where it’s most beneficial. “Onox” by Raumideen, telescopic loaders set the example An example in this regard is the design layout of electric telescopic handlers, propelled by two motors, one for traction and one for…
Read MoreFerrari “Stellar 85 Rs”, strong and stable tractor
Specialized isodiametric tractors are so named because they have all wheels of the same diameter or very close diameters. What sets them apart from traditional tractors are their shorter wheelbases, making them highly maneuverable, and a more balanced weight distribution when carrying equipment. This is because the engine’s overhang relative to the front axle balances the weight of the equipment carried over the rear axle. When the equipment is in contact with the ground, the overhanging engine eliminates or greatly reduces the need to weight the front end with ballast.…
