Square balers Sb 1290 iD by Kuhn: unique and exclusive

Redazione

Kuhn’s “SB 1290 iD” square balers are the only machines of their kind featuring the “TwinPact” system—a dual-piston compression mechanism that super-compacts the crop—and offering the option to add a pre-chopper for fine straw shredding In fields with vast cereal crops, once the combines finish their work, a valuable byproduct remains: straw. Given the current low prices of both soft and durum wheat—lower than in recent seasons—the additional income from straw becomes particularly significant.

Bkt Pneumatic “AgriMax ProHarvest VF”: Maximum Performance

Redazione

The new Bkt tires of the “AgriMax ProHarvest VF” series have been specifically designed to equip high-power combine harvesters, integrating the two most advanced technologies in the field: Very High Flexion (VF) and Cyclic Field Operations (CFO). Unlike tractors, whose weight varies depending on the configuration and attached equipment but remains relatively constant during operation, combine harvesters undergo continuous weight changes due to the varying volume of grain in the grain tank. These are significant fluctuations—consider that a 10,000-liter grain tank increases its mass by roughly 7.5 to 8 tons…

tecnologie agricolture 4.0

For the first time, the national market for Agriculture 4.0 technologies is shrinking. After seven years of uninterrupted growth, 2024 has seen an annual drop of eight percent. This trend has been heavily influenced by a decrease in demand for machines and equipment integrated with digital solutions, largely due to the end of tax incentives. After years of steady growth, 2024 marks the first slowdown in the Italian market for digital technologies in agriculture. This is the key finding of the “Smart Agrifood Observatory 2025,”. This is an annual study…

European Commission Proposes Tariffs on Russian and Belarusian Agricultural Products and Nitrogen-Based Fertilizers The European Commission has recently adopted a proposal to impose customs duties on agricultural products and nitrogen-based fertilizers imported from Russia and Belarus. The move aims to reduce the EU’s dependence on imports from the two countries, which—especially in the case of fertilizers—make the European Union vulnerable to potential coercive actions by Russia, posing a significant risk to EU food security. According to the Commission, the proposed tariffs are intended to support increased domestic fertilizer production and…
