Agriculture before the tractor

Redazione

The history of agricultural mechanization is closely linked to that of the tractor. However, the tractor was the result of an evolution that began in the very early 1700s when steam engines began to spread, units which for the industrialization of the Western World can be considered akin to the “Big Bang” that gave rise to the Universe. The first agricultural tractors produced in limited series appeared in the United States in 1892 but were called “gasoline traction engines” or “traction engines.” A few years later, at the beginning of…

Bkt, continuous expansion: here is the tire called “PowerTrail Sr 331”

Redazione

Medium-high power agricultural tractors are known to work on the road for at least half of their life pulling heavy trailers. It is no coincidence that the majority of agricultural tire manufacturers are progressively adding tires characterized by treads that are less aggressive towards the ground and therefore capable of exhibiting lower energy absorption on the road, alongside the classic crampon tyres, a trend that the manufacturers themselves had previously already approached at the level of floating tyres, those used to equip trailers, and which was also recently done by…

Tractor brand “Ursus” closes

Redazione

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…

“Onox” by Raumideen, the unconventional electric tractor

Redazione

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…
