Horsch “Pronto 6 Kr” seed drills, ideal even for the hardest soils

Redazione

At the end of summer, the season with unpredictable weather may lead to varying soil conditions in terms of moisture, shortening the available time for the final fieldwork and sowing. This creates the need or even just the convenience of combining the last fieldwork with sowing, thereby taking advantage of the right time window despite the unpredictable weather. In this regard, the ideal solution can be found in the range of Horsch seed drills for cereals, particularly in the “Pronto 6 Kr” model, where the number six refers to the…

Tractors McCormick “X5”, ready for anything

Redazione

Excellent for small farms, those that cannot afford large fleets of machinery and therefore need equipment where versatility is their best asset. However, they are also ideal for medium and large organizations, which, unlike the former, do not skimp on investments in machinery fleets but then need to optimize depreciation times by not diverting high-power tractors from their primary tasks. These include heavy-duty activities in open fields, for instance, or operations using significant equipment and road transport of high-mass trailers. These needs, which differ from those of livestock organizations, can…

With Kuhn’s “Sb 1290 iD” Square Balers, Maximum Value for Straw

Redazione

For Italian wheat, 2024 will not be a good year. For durum wheat, forecasts are limited to just three and a half million tons, a decrease of eight percent compared to 2023 and 15 percent compared to the long-term average. This is according to estimates from Crea, the Council for Agricultural Research and Economics. This decline is mainly due to unfavorable weather conditions, particularly in the southern regions of Italy, where decreases are estimated to range from thirty percent in Puglia to seventy percent in Sicily. Strategic for Profitability In…

“Mini Agri 20.4 Smart” by Dieci: small but compact

Redazione
Dieci "Mini Agri 20.4 Smart"

Small is small, there’s no denying it. The new “Mini Agri 20.4 Smart” compact by Dieci, with its width of one and a half meters, combined with a length of just three and a half meters and a height slightly over one meter and ninety centimeters, certainly doesn’t give the impression of being a giant or of being able to withstand heavy and continuous use. In reality, this is precisely its true nature: that of an agricultural telehandler built to endure prolonged efforts and, therefore, capable of operating on multiple…

Krone “5000” pelleting machines, more unique than rare

Redazione
Krone Premos 5000

The first European Directive in favor of animal welfare dates back to 18 November 1974 and concerned the obligation to stun animals before slaughter. Today this may seem trivial, but 50 years ago the animal was not yet considered a sentient being and was therefore treated as a mere object. Since then, various other European initiatives have followed, such as the Amsterdam Protocol on the protection and welfare of animals in 1999. Especially in recent years, laws have come into force on the minimum spaces to be ensured for farmed…

Claas “Cmatic” range, variations on the theme

Redazione
Claas Gamma "Cmatic"

In the field of agricultural mechanization, continuously variable gearboxes represent the mechatronic point of reference as regards power transmission. Their simplicity and immediacy of use, combined with mechanical performances increasingly similar to those offered by traditional powershift gearboxes, have made them a priority choice also by those operators who mainly use their tractors in heavy field activities and therefore until yesterday they tended to favor powershift transmissions. This is mainly due to a design approach based on an epicyclic system that progressively and continuously redistributes the driving torque supplied by…

Ferrari “Thor K90”: high powers with low investments

Redazione
Ferrari "Thor K90"

The expressions “high power” and “entry level” in almost all motorsport sectors are often in conflict with each other. In fact, it is common practice that as engine performance increases, the equipment of the vehicles also increases and consequently the respective price lists, also due to the fact that the most ambitious customers who are willing to spend to satisfy the pleasure of driving and , why not, even the pleasure of possession. However, this does not mean that the equation “performance = high costs” has an absolute value. At…
