Read MorePakelo Defa Fluid Plus additive: maximum efficiency for diesel engines
Pakelo Defa Fluid Plus additive: To ensure maximum efficiency of diesel engines, Pakelo offers “Defa Fluid Plus,” a concentrated diesel additive that increases the cetane number while keeping the entire fuel system clean Diesel engine operation is closely tied to the quality of the fuel used. Diesel fuel—together with air, and particularly the oxygen it contains—is what enables combustion. It is therefore clear that if the fuel is of poor quality or contaminated with foreign substances, engine efficiency will suffer, resulting in lower power output and higher fuel consumption. In…

Thanks to the new family of self-propelled “TractionMax” axles offered by Adr Axles, agricultural trailers can now provide an additional propulsion system alongside that of the tractor, enabling operation even on the softest, most uneven or steeply sloping terrain The idea itself—making an agricultural trailer self-propelled to facilitate travel on difficult ground and steep gradients—is not new. Until recently, however, it was only implemented through purpose-built systems driven mechanically. The collaboration between Adr Axles and the Finnish company Black Bruin has instead introduced the possibility of making virtually any trailer…
