Kuhn “Btfr” seed drills and “Hr” harrows: virtuous combinations

Redazione

The combination of multiple implements to carry out different but sequential or related tasks in a single pass has become standard practice in the agromechanical field, as it allows for significant time and fuel savings. An example of this is the combination of seeding equipment with tools for soil refinement, a practice that has been common for years and has proven advantageous in terms of reducing both working time, which is halved, and fuel consumption, which significantly decreases, becoming lower than it would be if the two operations were performed…

Krone “Vendro” and “Swadro” series, masters of rotation

Redazione

Continuous improvement. In the Japanese tradition, it’s called by the exotic term “Kaizen,” or more prosaically, in the Italian way, it’s framed by the old but still valid adage “Never rest on your laurels.” Even when those laurels are abundant and might justify a moment of rest. In any case, it’s a business mindset that Krone has always embraced by continually launching new solutions in all its fields of activity. These innovations range from new technologies to product line expansions, the latter recently pursued in the segment of “Vendro” tedders…

Jcb “Hydradig Pro”: dig, carry and lift

Redazione

On construction sites and in agricultural businesses, the routine activities to be carried out are always highly diverse, and often, unpredictable tasks are added, either due to accidental reasons or the opportunity to supplement income with extraordinary and contingent work. A good example of this is winter road maintenance, which is only needed in the event of heavy snowfall, making it unplannable but offering interesting income opportunities. Ideally, each job would be performed with dedicated equipment, but even in the most structured construction and agricultural companies, this clashes with the need to…

Seppi “Miniforst pick-up cl” shredder, a question of finesse

Redazione

Collecting and removing woody residues from cultivated fields is a problem that affects all those working in specialized agriculture. Over time, this issue has increasingly driven agricultural entrepreneurs toward equipment that can best support them in maintenance activities, processing the collected material to make it easily assimilable into the soil. This also applies to olive groves and citrus orchards The latter objective is specifically addressed by the renewed “Miniforst pick-up cl” mulcher from Seppi, a hydraulically operated forestry machine aimed at the mechanical processing of pruning residues in specialized environments.…

Claas combines, designed in Europe for Europe

Redazione

In 1936, numerous and epoch-making changes began in the Old Continent. British economist John Maynard Keynes laid the groundwork for transforming Western socio-economic paradigms with the publication of the “General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money,” initiating the so-called “Keynesian revolution” that gave rise to the first form of macroeconomics. This work led to a profound renewal of the society and economic structures of the time, effectively opening the door to development policies still pursued in the West today. An almost comparable milestone in agricultural mechanization was the birth, also…

Jcb “DualTech”, dual in name and in fact

Redazione

One of the key questions that an agricultural organization must address when purchasing a new self-propelled machine concerns the type of transmission. Currently, there are three basic technologies available: mechanical transmission, which serves as the entry-level option; continuous transmission, which is at the top; and hydraulic transmission, which serves as a bridge between the two. Since each type of transmission has its own pros and cons, the choice should be made based on rational considerations and the specific mission profiles that each machine must fulfill. Mechanical transmissions are robust and…

Landini “Series 5 Roboshift”, advanced robotization

Redazione

The Landini “5 Series” medium utility tractors are among the best examples of the technical-functional characteristics essential for Italian agriculture. Weighing between 3,700 and 4,000 kilograms and with wheelbases ranging from 2,171 to 2,355 millimeters, the four models in this series — named “5-085,” “5-100,” “5-110,” and “5-120” — are versatile machines. They can meet the demands of larger farms and contractors while also serving as multifunctional machines for smaller family-run farms working on smaller plots of land. Automation and Comfort Are Key In both operational scenarios, it’s worth noting…

Redazione
falciatrici bcs neva avant

In 1943, Luigi Castoldi, Camillo Bonetti, and Severino Speroni developed the first self-propelled sickle bar mower with oscillating blades in history, a machine labeled “242,” which revolutionized an agricultural sector that, until then, relied primarily on human labor. Over time, the machine was continuously refined and complemented by other motorized mowers. It also gave rise to a series of front-mounted oscillating blade mowers, later followed by front-mounted rotary disc mowers. Decades of Expertise In fact, it can be said that Bcs’s experience in the field of front-mounted mowers boasts more…
