Tadus T16.20 electric tractor: 160-horsepower prototype on display in Hannover
The Tadus T16.20 electric tractor, a 160-horsepower prototype powered by electricity, makes its international debut. It stems from a project by the German startup Tadus that began in 2021 and is expected to lead to limited production in the second half of this year Long proposed as a panacea for all the world’s problems, electric propulsion is increasingly proving to be a technology with limited promise. This is due both to unresolved technical issues—first and foremost the limited energy density of batteries—and to economic factors driven by the high prices…

Capable of shredding stumps up to 40 centimeters in diameter and milling the soil to a depth of 30 centimeters, the Seppi “Fc” and Seppi Star-Fc stump grinders are designed for the removal of woody residues and ground leveling, particularly during vineyard and orchard restructuring and renewal operations in specialized farming Regenerative agriculture is a production approach aimed not only at preserving but also at restoring soil health, increasing biodiversity, and enhancing the soil’s ability to retain carbon dioxide. This virtuous process delivers its greatest benefits in specialized sectors, where…
Read MoreMitas Granterra: new tires for high and ultra-high-power tractors
Mitas Granterra is the new line of tires for high- and ultra-high-power tractors unveiled last November at Agritechnica by Mitas, a brand belonging to the Yokohama TWS group. The new tires combine “VF” (Very High Flexion) certification with “PFO” (Pressure Field Operation) approval From “IF” to “VF” and now to “VF-PFO”: three acronyms that encapsulate years of advanced research and development by leading tire manufacturers to create products capable of combining high load capacity and field traction with strong environmental compatibility. This objective has been pursued by continuously pushing the…

The new tire is already available in the 460/70 R24 size In addition to traditional field operations, larger agricultural businesses and contractors are often involved in maintenance and logistics operations on hard surfaces, primarily concrete and asphalt, but also on dirt roads. To address these work situations with maximum efficiency without sacrificing the traction and flotation necessary for successful field operations, Bridgestone has developed a specific tire called the “Vh-Ind,” Bridgestone’s first agro-industrial tire. Featuring a knobby tread nearly 35.5 millimeters deep, the “Vh-Ind,” according to the Japanese manufacturer, boasts…

With the new self-propelled forage harvester Krone Big X 860, powered by an all-new 843-horsepower inline six-cylinder engine, the flagship product line of Krone now consists of six models covering a power range from 687 to 1,156 horsepower In U.S. casinos, dice throwing is one of the most exciting and engaging games, as it directly involves players—whether they are shooters or bettors. The shooters take turns rolling the dice, aiming to achieve the scores needed to win, while bettors wager for or against them. Over time, numerous variations of the…
Read MoreSteyr Impuls tractors: updated in technology and comfort
The renewed mid-range open-field Steyr Impuls will be available not only in a cvt version but also with a new semi-powershift dual-clutch transmission designed to broaden the machines’ commercial appeal. Among the upgrades compared to the previous generation are improved handling and greater lifting capacities In the field of agricultural mechanization, continuously variable transmissions (CVTs) represent the mechatronic benchmark for power transfer. Their simplicity and ease of use, combined with mechanical efficiencies increasingly close to those offered by traditional powershift gearboxes, have made them a preferred choice even for operators…
Read MoreKuhn anti-wear technology: guaranteed component resistance
“Durakuhn” technology and the special “Durakarb” steel are two solutions developed by Kuhn to enhance the durability of components that, across the company’s wide range of equipment, typically operate under particularly demanding wear conditions In ancient Roman mythology—derived from Greek mythology—Vulcan was the god who forged the weapons of the other gods. In the heart of the Earth, amid flames and lava, he crafted creations whose secrets only he knew, capable of withstanding the fiercest clashes on the battlefield. Modern metallurgy has long since moved beyond such legends, developing increasingly…
Read MoreArag’s new Flowtron valves: selective and targeted crop protection treatments
Selective and targeted crop protection treatments, delivering greater environmental protection and reduced product usage. These are the objectives of Arag’s new “Flowtron” valves, which are capable of interfacing with artificial vision systems for weed identification. Thanks to this capability, the “Flowtron” valves activate only when weeds are detected, concentrating the application of crop protection mixtures precisely where needed, thereby minimising chemical use and reducing operating costs.

Read MoreIndian tractors: market surpasses one million
For the first time, the Indian tractor market has broken through the one-million-unit threshold In 2025, the Asian country—which holds the world record for population—recorded sales of 1.09 million tractors, according to data released by the Tractor Manufacturers Association. It should be noted, however, that this result—up 20 percent year on year—refers to sales, not registrations. Registrations, for their part, came close to the one-million mark, stopping at just under 979,000 units. Of these, almost 238,000 registrations were accounted for by Mahindra, which confirmed its market leadership with a 23.6…
