Innovation in agriculture: trends and developments at Agritechnica

27 January 202627 January 2026 Redazione

As tradition dictates, the tractor once again took centre stage at Agritechnica. Performance levels and machine size continue to grow, but above all it is innovative technical content that is advancing and innovation in agriculture by Gabriele Dell’Orto As tradition dictates, the tractor once again took centre stage at Agritechnica. Performance levels and machine size continue to grow, but above all it is innovative technical content that is advancing. Solutions that until recently were exclusive to high-end tractors are now migrating toward mid-power machines, with the aim of making tractors…

New Honda robotic lawnmowers available 24/7

16 January 202616 January 2026 Redazione

Honda has unveiled two wireless robotic lawnmowers, the “Miimo 1500i” and “Miimo 2200i,” that significantly raise the bar in the industry. They operate using satellite geolocation, eliminating the need to physically limit their working areas. On the surface, they resemble two robotic lawnmowers. Aesthetically pleasing, quiet to use, and automated in action, they represent a leap into the future, something only a company like Honda can offer. The new “Miimo 1500i” and “Miimo 2200i” are a powerhouse of technology designed to literally make you forget they’re there once you’ve positioned…

Valtra launches voice assistance on tractors

12 January 202621 January 2026 Redazione

First smartphones, then cars and trucks, and now tractors. Voice assistance is rapidly spreading across all industrial sectors, and with self-propelled vehicles, it was only logical that it would eventually make its way to agricultural machinery Valtra pioneered this technology with its “Talking Tractor” prototype system, which allows operators to interact with the machine by voice, receiving answers to their questions on the on-board monitor or on their mobile devices. Presented at Agritechnica and currently only available in English, German, French, and Finnish, the system is intended to be an…

Krone Automation Systems: physiological replacements

23 December 202523 December 2025 Redazione

The growing shortage of skilled labor, combined with demands for greater sustainability in agricultural practices, has stimulated the development of technologies designed to make operators’ work easier—or to replace them Difficult times for European agriculture. On one side, demands for more sustainable farming practices are increasing; on the other, the availability of specialized labor is decreasing. Two diverging trends that urgently call for technological solutions capable not only of optimizing production processes, increasing yields, and reducing environmental impact, but also of limiting the need for human supervision. All leading agricultural…

Range no problem for Saim

22 December 202523 December 2025 Redazione

As is well known, the underlying problem affecting electric agricultural and industrial machinery, limiting their widespread use, is the low energy density of batteries, a parameter that significantly limits working range. To overcome this handicap, Saim Industrial recently developed a range extender specifically designed for machines equipped with 48-volt powertrains. The system is based on a Kubota “Z482” “Super Mini” series internal combustion engine with approximately 10 kW of power delivered at 3,600 rpm, combined with a 4 kW generator delivered at 1,800 rpm. The system is supplied as a…

Multirow: a system for phytosanitary treatments

28 November 202528 November 2025 Redazione

Called Multirow, the system operates through ultrasonic sensors installed on the tractor rather than on the implement itself. This setup allows the vegetation Improving the quality and precision of crop protection treatments in specialized farming — this is the goal of the new automatic boom section shut-off system for sprayers developed by Arag in collaboration with Argo Tractors, designed to integrate seamlessly with the Group’s autonomous guidance system, UltraPilot. Called Multirow, the system operates through ultrasonic sensors installed on the tractor rather than on the implement itself. This setup allows…

Miplus System by MaterMacc: precise and increasingly digital sowing

14 November 202514 November 2025 Redazione

More controlled and precise sowing thanks to new digital solutions — Miplus System. This is MaterMacc’s proposal for optimizing work efficiency in terms of both time and results The saying goes that “fast and good don’t go together.” That may be true when work depends solely on the operator’s intuition, since even the most experienced person cannot possibly monitor every change the external environment imposes on field operations. On the other hand, modern digital systems make it possible to have every control literally at your fingertips through tools designed to…

Yasa Motors, record-breaking power-to-weight ratio

6 November 20256 November 2025 Redazione

The British company Yasa Motors, controlled by the Mercedes group, has developed an electric motor weighing just over 13 kilograms and delivering 738 horsepower, achieving a power-to-weight ratio of 56 horsepower per kilogram That electric motors are optimal propulsion units for self-propelled vehicles is an indisputable fact. With equal power output, they are lighter and more compact than internal combustion engines, boast more than double the energy efficiency, and require almost no maintenance. Two confirmations of this come to mind. The first is the widespread—indeed monopolistic—use of electric motors wherever…

New Roboton Farmer: all-purpose robot for sowing and weeding

23 October 202523 October 2025 Redazione

Redefining production activities in row crops. To this end, the Czech company Roboton has recently developed its open-field robot, the Roboton Farmer – an autonomous, electrically powered vehicle capable of performing a wide range of tasks, from soil preparation and seeding to weeding and irrigation Equipped with a robotic arm and a standard three-point hitch, the new Roboton Farmer can operate in combination with any towed implement, managed through pre-set operating parameters within its control system. These parameters can also be modified as needed via a mobile application or web-based…

Agriculture and Artificial Intelligence, Claas joins the AI Innovation Park

26 September 202530 September 2025 Redazione

For Claas artificial intelligence offers enormous potential for increasing productivity, efficiency, work quality, and after-sales service, especially in agriculture. This is why Claas is joining the AI Innovation Park (IPAI) for far-reaching technologies in the development of agricultural machinery through the sustainable and responsible use of AI Artificial intelligence, for Claas AI will be the most powerful driver of innovation. AI will become increasingly commonplace in agriculture within the next few years. The agricultural machinery industry has also recognized this phenomenon, with manufacturers demanding the safe use of AI both…
