Agricultural and livestock companies normally dedicate the winter season to maintenance of machines and equipment. Among the essential interventions are those relating to the undercarriages of trailers whose basic components, brakes, bearings and bushings, if worn or malfunctioning, can give rise to very dangerous situations. And the Adr Axles spare parts platform is a guarantee Dedicated to all operators in the agricultural and livestock sectors, the Adr Axles spare parts platoform. According to industry research, farmers and breeders spend approximately one hour per day on machinery maintenance. This time frame…

In the title, the order that special agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, protagonist of the television series “NCIS”, gives to each of his new collaborators. The art of the knife by Michele Valtorta A rule also valid for farmers given that the knife is a useful tool for dealing with a thousand small problems. However, it must be of quality as for example the artisanal creations made by Michele Valtorta starting from steel billets for the blades and hard woods for the handles. Title: Never without a knife: Michele Valtorta’s artisanal…
Read MoreOil Pakelo Geolube Utto: the specialist
An acronym for “Universal Tractor Transmission Oil,” the term “UTTO” refers to fluids specifically designed to operate within onboard hydraulic systems. In this context, Pakelo’s “Geolube UTTO” oil, formulated entirely with synthetic base oils, stands out as a premium solution. Modern tractors integrate a wide range of technologies—from mechanics to hydraulics and electronics—creating a sophisticated system that enhances ease of operation, autonomy, and functional versatility. What was once a simple vehicle for towing agricultural equipment has evolved into a highly advanced multifunctional system designed to generate power. Within this system,…
Read MoreFive-litre 4 cylinder engines at the service of agriculture
The four-cylinder, five-liter “Dx5” series units from Hyundai Infracore made their debut at Eima, and therefore in the agricultural mechanization segment. A new entry that reconfirms the growth trend in the power supplied by the 4-cylinder engines used in the tractor sector and which aligns the Korean company with the proposals already in place by Agco Power, Kubota and Volvo Penta One of the most intriguing developments in the engine sector at EIMA was the unveiling of Hyundai Infracore’s new four- and six-cylinder engines, covering a power range between 200…
Read MoreKverneland Rotago F, quality power harrows for refining the soil
The foldable rotary harrows “Rotago F” by Kverneland can operate independently for soil refinement or in combination with the “Cb-F” seed bars and the “f-drill” front-mounted tank Efficient Soil Preparation for Precision Seeding Soil refinement is essential for creating optimal conditions for seed drills. A well-leveled and uniform seedbed ensures precise seed placement in terms of depth and row spacing. There are two primary approaches to achieving this: passive mechanical tillage using trailed implements or rotary harrows, which provide a more intense clod-crushing action. While trailed equipment may struggle in…

The Japanese group Yokohama Rubber is renowned in the automotive and motorcycle industries for its high-performance sports tires. However, its presence in heavy-duty transport and off-road tire sectors is equally significant, offering durable and robust tires for demanding applications.…
Read MoreAI in agriculture? Help, but it won’t solve the planet’s food shortage
Furio Oldani Last month, thanks to the era of electronics and innovation “CES” in Las Vegas, there was a lot of talk about artificial intelligence, acronym “AI”. Of the possibilities it opens up for social development, but also of the dangers that can arise from its misuse. Macchine Trattori also talked about it, warning against confusing traditional algorithms with real artificial intelligence software. The future is the optimization of manufacturing work The boundary line between the two worlds is indeed thin, inherent in the so-called “self-learning”, the ability of AI…
Read MoreKuhn Optimer, ideal cultivators for any soil cultivation
Gone are the days when cereal farmers resorted to the practice of “debbio,” or stubble burning. This method was already documented in the first century B.C. by the Roman writer Publius Vergilius Maro, better known as Virgil, the author of the epic poem “Aeneid.” He attributed to debbio the ability to transfer “mysterious forces” to the soil and dissolve potential damage in plant tissues—concepts that, in a way, were correct since fire destroys fungal spores of pathogens. Stringent legislative limits Today, this practice is strictly regulated by law, with violations…
