Colors aside, those who have no experience with mechanical workshops may think that all greases are the same. In reality, each product has very specific characteristics and is oriented towards equally specific applications. An example of this are Pakelo Ptfe Free greases Greases are strategic products for the proper functioning of an agricultural machine, but unlike lubricating oils, their use does not always enjoy great attention from the users of the same machines. Many of them actually think that one product is as good as another and the price is…

Ceat Specialty Tyres: Robust and Impact Resistant
The current Ceat Specialty brand traces its origins back to 1924 and the city of Turin. The bond with Italy and its technological traditions is therefore strong, with the latter being well expressed in the Ceat Specialty low profile radials for Farmax R65 X3 tractors A brand born in Italy and very active in the automotive sector, the Ceat brand became part of the Indian Rpg group in 1982, now present in over 120 countries and with a turnover of over three billion dollars, achieved thanks to the work of…
Read MoreFad Assali suspensions: direct confirmations
After its debut at Eima 2024, Fad Assali brought the “Sidra Prima Sliding” suspension into the field to evaluate its real-world performance. The test also provided an opportunity to highlight the advantages of the “Sidra One” hydraulic suspension compared to traditional leaf spring systems. In both cases, the benefits of the innovations developed in Brescia were clearly confirmed Awarded last year as a technical innovation in the sector, the “Sidra Prima Sliding”—an electronically controlled steering suspension with hydraulically adjustable track width—was recently field-tested to quantify its operational benefits. The test…
Read MoreGoodyear Tires: over a century of experiences
Exactly 180 years ago, in 1844, Charles Goodyear filed the patent that allows for the vulcanization of natural rubber, making it elastic and durable. In 1898, the current Goodyear group was founded, whose division responsible for the production of agricultural tires has now merged with the Titan International group In the agricultural tire sector, the Goodyear tire brand is certainly one of the few that can boast centuries-old history and experience, having been born in 1898 and having started its first tire production the following year. In 1931, after having…

For a more productive and sustainable agriculture, Bkt updates its tire range. Objective: to ensure operational efficiency even for heavy machinery like combine harvesters, while protecting soil from compaction damage The New Bkt Agrimax ProHarvest Tire In this context, BKT has recently developed a new tire designed to meet the diverse demands of harvesting operations. Enter the Agrimax ProHarvest, a tire engineered to deliver maximum efficiency and reliability, thanks in part to VF (Very High Flexion) technology. Specifically, the Agrimax ProHarvest features a reinforced polyester casing combined with three layers…
Read MorePakelo Ptfe Free: bye bye Teflon
The European Regulation 2033/2023 has significantly reduced the use of so-called “microplastics.” One of the sectors affected by the new rules is that of lubricants, which is why the Italian brand Pakelo presented a new collection of “PTFE-Free” products at Bauma 2025 In September 2023, the European Union enacted Regulation 2033 aimed at minimizing the release of so-called “microplastics” into the environment. The term refers to any synthetic, solid, and organic polymer smaller than five millimeters, which is also insoluble in water and resistant to degradation. Among the substances affected…

Focused on corporate and production policies aimed at safeguarding environmental sustainability and promoting gender equality, the recently completed Yokohama-Atg plant in Vizag, India, also proved an ideal setting to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Alliance brand Having become part of Yokohama in 2016 through the acquisition of Alliance Tire Group by the Japanese multinational, the Alliance brand is celebrating its 70th year of operation in 2024—a prestigious milestone. Yokohama-ATG, the manufacturing entity born from that very acquisition, chose to mark the occasion with the completion of its plant in…
Read MoreVpo Titan technology: from military to agricultural
The American group Carlstar, recently acquired by the Titan group, has developed a technology that allows to control the pressure of tires according to use. At the same time, it has also launched new tires characterized by a high resistance to punctures After years of testing in military applications and on light vehicles like ATVs and UTVs, Carlstar Group—recently acquired by Titan International—has officially introduced its Variable Pressure Operation (VPO) technology to the public. This groundbreaking system allows tire inflation pressure to be modulated in real-time based on terrain and…
Read MoreAlpha by Adr hydraulic suspensions: the end point
The Alpha by Adr bring together the ruggedness and reliability expected of mechanical components in the agricultural sector with easy installation and minimal maintenance requirements Traditionally, farmers and manufacturers have had to choose between mechanical or hydraulic suspensions with interconnected wheels, and hydraulic systems with independent wheels. For years, ADR has offered solutions to suit every agricultural trailer configuration, emphasizing the importance of selecting the right suspension system for each specific application. At the latest Agritechnica trade fair, Adr introduced a game-changing suspension system that merges the best features of…
Read MorePakelo Universal Gear, a mineral-based oil
The most heavily stressed mechanical components in agricultural machinery require specialized lubricants to safeguard them against thermal and structural stress. Pakelo Universal Gear EP LS SAE 80W-90 is a mineral-based oil designed specifically for this purpose Mechanical stress in agricultural machinery arises primarily from two factors: contact pressure and high temperatures. If not properly managed, these two forces act simultaneously, with one prevailing over the other depending on the component. For example, in engines, brakes, and clutches, excessive heat is the primary cause of failure, while in transmissions, differentials, and…
