Forest Rebuilding

A rotation of 180 ° which contributes to higher productivity and better ergonomics

2013-04-25T04:13:00.001-07:00

For the majority of the work, the tractor is driven in the direction of the front. There are some works that, by changing the direction, not only will get more from the tractor, but also will improve the working position of the driver. This is why Valtra has designed and developed the unique movement in both directions of travel TwinTrac available for tractors with power between 99 and 370 hp.

Use of TwinTrac conceived by the Valtra lead to increased productivity in a wide range of applications in agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry work on a farm or in the maintenance of roads. The operator benefits from:

- A very good visibility and better control of equipment attached;

- Improve agility tractor;

- Improved ergonomics, which means reducing the risk of occupational diseases (muscle pain, stiff neck, etc..).

Therefore, work performed and more accurate and faster tractor driver savings of time and fuel!

TwinTrac system requires additional orders placed behind the cabin, including a second wheel and shift lever for front / rear plus the accelerator pedal, clutch and brakes. The driver's seat of Valtra tractors rotates 180 degrees, so it is very simple change direction without leaving the seat.

A recent study shows that the work carried out behind the tractor resulting in health benefits for the operator, since the position of the neck is twisted back and minimal.

Baler Krone Bellima with fixed camera

2013-04-04T02:07:00.001-07:00

Bellima KR model was developed from 125/130, which in the past has proved many times

Round baler baler press Bellima fixed camera can be operated by a small power tractor. With low maintenance costs, achieved very strong bales of hay and straw.

Like many other balers Krone round baler and Bellima is made with the new lift pick-up Easy-Flow. Previous model pick-up control cam and the other wearing parts have become unnecessary.

No cam technology has several obvious advantages. From experience so far, wear parts can be reduced by up to 60 percent. Overall, the new system EasyFlow is 30 percent faster than the old version controlled by cam.

Bellima can be ordered with two types of pick-ups. F125 Bellima width is 1.400 mm (DIN11220) with hydraulic control and can be set to desired height. The design reduced the distance between pick-up and chamber pressure, thus amplifying uniform transfer of material, optimizing power and maintaining uniform flow. EasyFlow version 1.800 mm extra wide base comes as Bellima model F130.

Bellima Fortima is not only in appearance but also by internal technical design. For example, working with the same technology lift bar - chain, which has already demonstrated its value. At this, due to the effect of driving with the gear, no power loss, turning the more intense. Suitable as a material for baling completely dry or wet.

A distinct advantage of Bellima is that no mail. Binding to both the purse strings and can be turned on hydraulic and conveniently from the tractor cab. Post and rope are placed in front of the media, where there is room for six coils of rope or two rolls of mesh.

Propelled sprayers, Challenger RoGator 600B

Always, when it comes to self-propelled sprayer, we're thinking of moving large equipment difficult road due to the large size and low visibility, and that is why many farmers and agricultural service providers were reluctant to purchase.

Challenger wanted to come to market with a car that would contradict all these disadvantages, but without compromising their specific productivity. Thus, considering first the views of farmers and legislation, we can say that we are at the stage where we can offer a practical solution farms - propelled sprayer RoGator Challenger 600B!

With a transport width of only 2.55 m, you can forget costly transport permits, moving from one field to another is no longer an obstacle for your business. Moreover, thanks to the cab, visibility is quite good regardless of how we're working in the field or road transport position.

Cabin has received attention both in the choice of materials and ergonomics. It was intended primarily driver comfort as well as simple to implement orders, despite the complexity of the machine. It can be seen that most orders are armrest control, including primary monitor, greatly easing the driver's job. Benefits from air suspension seat and armrest is part of the seat, facilitating its use.

GPS guidance - when working with speeds up to 30 km / h and the length of 36 m, surely we need an efficient system for automatic tracking satellite. The system has a separate monitor, so you can take advantage of guidance, while the armrest machine monitor provides vital information about how the machine works.

The chassis is made of one piece and the distribution of weight during operation is 50% -50% front and back, thus ensuring the most efficient movement of the machine.

AGCO Power engine with power to 242 hp, provides an extremely low which may decrease in most cases less than 1 liter / ha. Its location is optimal, in the right mid chassis is accessible from ground level for any intervention.

Basin starts from 4000 liters and up to 6000 liters depending on the model. On his casting was used latest technology, providing a highly fine without corners, which facilitates run-fully.

Steering is easy to use, the being on all four wheels, making it headland turns to be perfect, just trampling footsteps rear wheels on the front wheel, thereby reducing the impact on crops.

Track mechanically or hydraulically adjustable and can be set between 1.8 m and 2.25 m, which allow you to herbicides in different sole without too much effort.

Suspension;? Move smoothly on uneven ground at high speeds could say that for agricultural equipment can not be taken into account. However, this type of machine is equipped with independent suspension on each wheel hydro-pneumatic, making it speeds forward to a superior trailed sprayers or worn.

Sprayer ramps, cars Challenger RG600B range, are among the few on the market that offers standard working arms made entirely of aluminum. They are linked via a central framework machine equipped with shock absorbers that provide stability class for precise spraying. The suspension arms is innovative in that it is both symmetric and asymmetric, eliminating vertical and horizontal movements for a more uniform and efficient as spraying. In addition, the ramps are equipped with sensors for copying land, which facilitates maintenance throughout a range of herbicides work best, although differences found are quite high level.

The best 100hp tractor

2012-12-21T12:15:00.000-08:00

British weekly Farmers Weekly has to work seven tractors of 100 hp to find strengths and weaknesses of each.

Thus, Case-IH CS 105 Pro: 101 HP (Make: St. Valentin, Austria), Deutz-Fahr Agrofarm 430: 109 hp (Treviglio, Italy), Fendt 310 Vario: 100 hp (Marktoberdorf, Germany), John Deere 5100R : 101 hp (Mannheim, Germany), Massey Ferguson 5445: 95 hp (Beauvais, France), New Holland: 106 hp (Jesi, Italy) and Valtra N92: 101 hp (Suolahti, Finland) were tested to work - plowing, harrowing, towing and loading, with the most famous European Institute of tractors DLG test, which measured engine power, torque, fuel consumption and noise power lifting.

At the request of the organizers, builders have sent all tractors equipped with one charger choice but to evaluate performance while operating tractors, not the charger. She missed the competition Claas, the manufacturer failed to send Axos model with Perkins engine tests and the new Arion 400 was not yet available.

To assess the real capabilities of the seven tractors were tested also cabins, seeking spaciousness, visibility and use of storage space inside the cabin were compared gearboxes on ease of handling, smoothness and responsiveness and number of steps and were checked thoroughly all orders. Finally, tested the brakes and ease of maintenance.

Results

Net winner was Fendt 310 Vario, which came first performance tests, functionality, comfort and consumption, but also ... price (the difference between the cheapest and the most expensive of the tractors tested was 27,000 euros) 4-cylinder Deutz engine which drives the moving average deployed over the other, while transmission was designated "could not be better for class. "

Case-IH CS 105 Pro received the highest score for ergonomics, quality construction and overall performance and good scores on all tests were obtained and JD 5100R and MF 5445.

So if you want a powerful tractor with good performance and are willing to spend a little more fuel, MF 5445 is a very attractive choice. If the main criterion is value for money, Deutz-Fahr and New Holland are undisputed competitors, and if you're looking for a good strong tractor at all, it is worth to consider the Valtra N92 model.

Sarek National Park is one of the most spectacular mountain attractions in Scandinavia. Along with several other European reserve was established among the first in Europe in the first decade of the twentieth century.

Here in northern Sweden over an area of 2000 square kilometers, natural phenomena follow their unhindered by human presence, the same cycles for millions of years. Sarek National Park includes six mountain peaks above 2000 m, 13 each exist in Sweden. The highest Sarektjakka called, and reaches 2089 m

Would have to mention the presence of about 100 glaciers formed during the last ice age, which although not meet all international standards, they are still unique in the country.

Unlike other provinces in the region that lies, lakes or wetlands reserve have some quite large, which ensures sharp biodiversity. So far identified 380 species of vascular plants, 182 species of vertebrates, 24 species of mammals, 142 species of birds, and several species of reptiles, amphibians and fish.

Of these some plants and animals, especially large carnivores (wolf, lynx) are on the list of endangered species in Sweden. The greatest diversity of birds are found in the delta area and around Lake Parekjaure Laitaure.

Residents only "permanent" of the park are people belonging to indigenous peoples, the Sami. To enable them to survive and not forced to leave their native places, restrictions in the park from them were and are minimal. Not the same is true for foreigners, all activities are able to affect animals (hunting, fishing, etc.) is strictly prohibited.

When arriving at the park, many expectations were not consistent with reality. He proceeds to mountain peaks in Sarek National Park became - as signals even administrators objective - a must do for tourists as stain. Certainly, however, very few receive training and equipment necessary to direct clashes with wilderness.

Sarek National Park're alone. Marked routes and any accommodation possibilities missing and there are only two bridges in the whole park. If you dare to visit yet, it's good to know that there is an hour, an hour and a half from the town Jokkmokk, depending on the route taken.

Sequoia trees

2012-10-15T13:03:00.002-07:00

Can reach the tallest trees on Earth. Can produce timber, creates jobs, keeps water clean and provides shelter for many species. If we leave them.

On a clean Californian coast trees, shrubs full of sequoia (called here redwood pine), mature oak-toxic, Mike Fay made a misstep, began to slip and felt as if stabbed in his left leg. After hundreds of miles in sandals came through the bushes, was used to such mistreatment of its semicentenarelor feet. But that was the mother of all chips.

She rebounded from a bone was stuck in a tendon and refuse to leave. Finally, the expedition's teammate, Lindsey Holm, grabbed splinter with a pair of pliers and a few sudden jerks, and plucked it. "And the other mountains could be heard yelling - says Fay. It was one of the most painful experiences I have lived.

"And it means something when he says a man who was wounded 16 times the elephants once. He bandaged the wound, took his back pack and, as he did in the last three months went on. After three decades it has helped save African forests, Mike Fay, a biologist at the Wildlife Conservation Society and a member of Explorerin-residence program of the National Geographic Society, has now sequoia blood.

His obsession for this tree, symbol of America, began several years ago, after finishing Megatransect - livingstoniana his expedition to explore the largest jungle is left intact in Africa. One day while I was driving along the north coast of California, found itself on the part of young trees and forests deforested long and thin.

On another occasion, he noticed a piece of 1.8 m from an old sequoia logs exposed to a reserve. On a label near the center reddish wrote: "1492 Columbus". "They put thoughts especially the last 8 inches from the edge - says Fay. There wrote "The Gold Rush, 1849". And I realized that equivalent to 8 inches during the life of that tree, near a forest lichidaseram 2,000 years. "

In the fall of 2007, he decided to see for himself how it was exploited in the past and currently treated as the highest forest in the long Pamant.Parcurgand legendary throughout California from Big Sur to beyond the border Oregon, wanted to know if there is a way to enhance both timber production, and numerous ecological and social benefits provided by forests left standing.

If they could do that in redwood forest - believe it - it could be anywhere on the planet where forests are races for short-term gains.

Explant 500 equipment for woody plant extraction from the root

2012-09-27T04:53:00.003-07:00

To obtain an adequate quality planting material, in terms of economic efficiency, both in terms of material for fruit growing sector and the planning for green or forest plantations, nurseries designed runs a series of crop maintenance

An important, in terms of consumption of labor, technologies working in nurseries have work to remove seedlings, transplanting it to or delivery to planting. In usual practice, removing seedlings can be "bare-root" or "root-soil bale".

Advantages seedlings with bale removal of soil from the root, using appropriate technical means, are undeniable:

- Extension of transplantation;
- Roots remain in good condition;
- Transplanting process is much easier shaft supported;
- Increasing the number of plants removed in an hour.

Work phases

Machine working process includes the following phases:

Phase I. In screeds (4) in the raised position, the sliding body (2) near the ground and dig support arms (3) remote machine by operating the tractor is positioned near the plant to be extracted, so that the three dig be at equal distance from the stem.

Phase II. Screeds approach by operating plant side cylinder (11) and descending order sliding body (2), while acting cylinder (10), until the tractor rests on supports screeds.

Phase III. Place screeds (4) in the soil by acting cylinders (9) successively from central hoe, making cutting roots and cut the side of the bale to the ground.

Phase IV. By actuating cylinder (10) to control sliding lifting body (2) with all the bits, so running above ground mining and lifting bale of earth with plants. Vertical root cutting and trimming the bottom of the earth is made by plucking.

Phase V. The removal side with roller bits (11) is released bale of land, which can be deposited on the ground in baskets for local handling and packaging and loading for transport.

Operational reliability coefficient is 0.95 percent and fuel consumption to 100 plant extracts is about 35 liters.

Chemical treatments during the growing season

2012-09-27T04:48:00.000-07:00

Production losses caused by certain pathogens of sunflower can reach up to 30-50% and in some cases may even lead to compromised culture. The level of damage depends on factors such as infection occurs when the intensity of the attack, tolerance hybrids grown or culture technology applied

Throughout the growing season, sunflowers can be attacked by various diseases, especially fungal infections leading to staining and necrosis of leaves (Alternaria spp, Septoria helianthi) or stem rot (Phomopsis helianthi, Phoma maccdonaldii, Sclerotium bataticola) and calatidiilor (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Botrytis cinerea). It is necessary to combat these pathogens of sunflower vegetation by chemical treatments.

The main diseases of sunflower

In the following we describe the main diseases affecting sunflower culture and factors contributing to the initiation and evolution of attack.

• brown staining is caused by strains of the pathogen Phomopsis helianthi and can cause significant damage (10-50%), depending on when infection occurs. After drying premature leaf / plant and breaking their negative influence pathogen manifests itself on the MMB and oil content in seeds.

• Septoria spp Alternaria are pathogenic helianthi with great destructive potential in terms of years of heavy rainfall, high humidity air and moderate temperatures average. The attack is manifested by staining and foliar necrosis, basal leaves from floors and sometimes progressing to complete defoliation, premature plant. This negatively influences the formation and filling achenes.

• Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a pathogen known by his polyphagia particularly large, but also many forms of attack on sunflower plants. You can install early stage floral button until the maturity stage of calatidiilor. Infections is marked by the presence of soft-colored spots, usually on the surface calatidiului, but sometimes on the stem or floral button.

If the weather is wet, the surface patch can see the mushroom mycelium white felt. Evolving, infection may include all or a portion of it calatidiul. The fungus produces sclerotia (of different shapes and sizes) calatidiului inside and on its surface as a network around the seed.

Calatidiilor infection with this fungus is caused by spores (ascospori) formed after germination of sclerotia are carpogenic type soil. This type of germination of sclerotia is induced under certain conditions of temperature and humidity. Thus, air temperatures of 20-25 ° C, 15-18 ° C soil and high humidity at ground level are optimal for sexual germination of the fungus.

Subsequently, the development of new infections is subject to temperature and humidity, so that above 25 ° C and the presence of water on calatidii provide optimal conditions for spore germination.

Rainy summers disease

• gray mold Botrytis cinerea produces the calatidiilor and attacks from the late phase of flowering to physiological maturity stage. Symptoms consist of mold stains on calatidiu, this consistency getting soft tissues. Stains will be covered with gray spray (fungus spores), which will ensure the spread of infection to healthy plants.

First of pathogen contamination occurring in the flower tube, spore germination is favored by the presence of pollen. Subsequent infection of other tissues include calatidiului, infecting including seed.

Rainy summers is gray mold disease, infection periods by setting up high humidity and low temperatures moderate. Transmission of disease from one year to another is through infected plant debris and seed.

Phenological stage optimal treatment

For high efficiency is important in preventing the attack phase where chemical interferes with treatment.

To limit helianthi Phomopsis attack, research has shown that very important is the application of preventive chemical treatments before symptoms appear on the leaves. Phenological stage of the plant is the first treatment for 6-8 pairs of leaves at this stage it is possible to apply terrestrial worn tractor spraying machines.

In light of changing environmental conditions and processes of infection of the crop, a second treatment is recommended in the early stage of flowering, at the first ligulate flowers. At this stage, treatment is applied with air assets.

Plant protection products approved for use in our country include a number of fungicides with activity against pathogens Phomopsis helianthi and Alternaria spp namely: Acanto Plus (0.6 L / ha), Amistar Extra 280 SC (0.75 l / ha), Impact 125 SC (1.5 l / ha), Impact 25 SC (0.75 l / ha), Mirage 45 EC (1.0 l / ha), Painter (0.5 l / ha), Rovral 500 SC ( 1.0 l / ha), Sphere 535 SC (0.4 l / ha) Tanos 50 WG (0.4 kg / ha), Topsin 70 PU (1.0 kg / ha), Topsin 70 WG (1.0 kg / ha), Topsin 500 SC (1.4 kg / ha).

Chemical control of white mold and gray through vegetation treatments have been studied by many researchers and it was found that optimal phenological phases of their application to reduce the impact on production rots in calatidiu are: first treatment at the beginning of flowering and the second at 10-15 days after the end of flowering. When applying only a single treatment, the warning is the capital attack frequency is above 3%.

To combat using one of the following fungicides: Acanto Plus (0.6 L / ha), Amistar Extra 280 SC (0.75 l / ha), Eyetak 450 (1.0 l / ha), Impact 125 SC (1, 5 l / ha), Impact 25 SC (0.75 l / ha), Mirage 45 EC (1.0 l / ha), Painter (0.5 l / ha), Prosaro 250EC (0.75 l / ha) , Rovral 500 SC (1.0 l / ha), Sphere 535 SC (0.4 l / ha), Tanos 50WG (0.4 kg / ha), Topsin 70 PU (1.0 kg / ha), Topsin 70 WG (1.0 kg / ha), Topsin 500 SC (1.4 kg / ha).

Option to apply 1, 2 or 3 treatments must take into account vegetation suitability or expected climatic conditions for pathogen development, the stage of infection in each culture, and the degree of resistance to these pathogens of cultivated hybrid.

Axos, Claas tractor

2012-09-27T04:41:00.000-07:00

Claas Axos is a medium tractor with a power range between 74 and 100 hp, which replaces the previous model of tractor Claas Celtis.

Axos appeared for the whole range of Claas tractors produced to the highest German standards. Comparing them with the previous range of tractors Celtis, Ares, Atles, wide Axos, Arion, Axion is one hundred to one hundred German technology, without any of the previous elements of Renault.

The tractor can be ordered in three ways: without cabin to cabin and cabin comfort range.

Agricultural tractors worldwide - The beginnings of agricultural tractors

2012-09-27T04:34:00.000-07:00

Agricultural tractor is a heavy equipment used in agriculture but also in forestry and rural areas. Form of four-wheel tractors is the same but what makes them different from each other are depending on usage, their shape and capacity.

The beginnings of agricultural tractors

History of agricultural tractors starting with the industrial revolution in 1882. Then came the first agricultural tractor steam. In 1892, he appeared first model gasoline (Froelich, USA). With the evolution of technology developed and heavy machinery such crawler tractor appeared in 1904 designed by Benjamin Holt.

Tractors in the world

In 2002 this industry is very developed reaching a total of 26.7 million tractors operating in the world. The first being the United States with 4.8 million tractors, France Locle sintuandu on the 7 th.
Today, agricultural tractors are making so as to ensure driver safety, if the tractor swings. Their use is diverse in places like gardens, highways, land ...

Major manufacturers of agricultural tractors

Leading manufacturers of agricultural tractors today are: JCB, New Holland, John Deere, Massey Ferguson, Fendt, Case IH, Caterpillar and many others.
John Deere was the first manufacturer of agricultural machinery offers a wide range of garden equipment as well as construction and forestry equipment.
Case IH tractors benefit from the latest technologies that enable customers to maintain productivity and efficiency while reducing fuel consumption.

JCB Fastrac 3000 Xtra

2012-09-27T04:28:00.001-07:00

JCB is a tractor manufacturer who just finds a response in the Romanian market. At a closer look, however, their logo is easily recognizable one. There are almost no road rehabilitation work in the country, which is not involved some lifting and excavating equipment manufactured by JCB. Successful British company in the construction machinery managed to move into agriculture with tractors between 130 and 270 hp. Their power segment, are considered some of the very best. True, the price is as reputation.

Recently, compressed JCB Fastrac 3000 Series, Standard and Plus ranges, in one unique number, called Xtra. The two models of the new series, 3200 (190CP) and 3230 (220CP) received all top features of previous models, and even something extra.

A tractor sports a British sobriety
In Romania, the importer is VA Intertrading Austria JCB Ltd, a group to which it belongs and NHR Agropartners Ltd New Holland dealers and Steyer, but a grain trading company.
Valentin Kiraly, JCB sales charge, admits frankly: "It's an expensive tractor market. But it is very reliable. In fact, English is a tractor built in a factory where quality counts workers. "
Fastrac 3000 is a 4-wheel tractor equal, driving, directional, making it easy to handle in all kinds of tight places. 's History starts in 1991 when it was painted red. Then, in later years, switched to yellow and gained a contemporary design. The advantage of the 4 wheels is equal, in explanation manufacturer, excellent speed that can tackle road: up to 85 km / hour, which makes him look like a sports car along with any other tractor.
Fastrac models have disc brakes and ABS system. At higher speeds, it makes it noticeably more stable as a conventional tractor with wheels of different sizes on drums and brake system.

And traction is evenly distributed, 50% front and 50% rear. "Unlike a conventional tractor with a distribution of 30% front and 70% rear tread Fastrac perfectly equal to all wheels. Equal footprint helps machine stability, and it does not skid. "
Suspension system is fully electronically controlled and automatically adjusts the balance to be perfect.
"If we put behind a 3000 Fastrac tractor plug, he will leave behind. But suspension system will recalibrate and will return to its normal position tractor, "says Valentin Kiraly. This special suspension is standard on the top series such as JCB Fastrac 7000. This year has become a standard for 3000.

Some technical details that will captivate your attention
All models of tractors built by JCB are powered by Cummins engines. 3000 series has a "heart" model QSB6.7, Tier 3, common-rail, 6 cylinder, 6.7 liter.
For Fastrac 3200, the engine is calibrated to develop 195 hp and 220 hp for 3230 reached at a rated speed of 2,200 rpm. The fuel tank has a capacity of 350 liters and 120 liter hydraulic tank.
"Cummins engines are among the best engines in the world, consider Kiraly. Engines are simple and do not require an engineer so you can fix it. There are many simple operations that can be performed directly on the farm if they are to urge all necessary tools. "Engine needs an oil change every 500 hours, and an overhaul at 5,000 hours.
Named P-Tronic, Powershift transmission type is specially developed for these tractors and motor mounted on them. There are 3 modes of transmission, to squeeze the optimal performance: Drive road-going, Autoshift, to change automatic and powershift steps, allowing tractor driver full manual control. The clutch is guaranteed for 6,000 hours of operation.

"I consider him a Rolls Royce of tractors," says Kiraly. "The JCB factory in Staffordshire, UK, put more emphasis on quality and less on developing people through building robots.
To check the accuracy of execution, a tractor 10 is disassembled and analyzed using high-precision scanners. Any assembly error is then checked the entire production line. It is something that I think only the largest car manufacturers can afford to do it.
JCB wants to make a tractor built with soul, with attention to every element, from design to spectacular engine, transmission, suspension, hydraulic or comfort in the cabin. "

It can be a good deal for contracts with the municipality
Fastrac 3000 Xtra is positioned as a tractor farms 700 to 800 acres high culture. It also is a great tractor for medium and large livestock farms that need a versatile model. "The livestock sell better. JCB is a well known name because of wheel loader, "Kiraly says proudly. "I would say as a loader in livestock sells itself."

But design Fastrac 3000 is a special thought to be multifunctional. It can be used all year, from plowing, harvesting and transport to winter works for the municipality. "It's a small tractor selling western airports. Can deszapezi, can tow a plane on the runway, where things need a high speed tractor, "said Representative VA Intertrading Austria. "It's a versatile tractor. Central Cab allows easily become a head-tractor and a truck carrying a trailer. As well can be equipped with a snow blade and salt spreaders. On public roads, the speed and stability of large wheels on equal distances allow to travel twice as fast as conventional tractors. In Europe, many farmers choose JCB municipality to provide services during the winter. Even his color, yellow to orange was chosen to be eligible for government contracts. In Romania, contracts between farmers and mayors go harder, admits Karoly. So far, we know only three farmers who were able to conclude JCB service contracts, Arad, Botosani and Giurgiu. "

JCB dealers, a small team but with strong support
In Romania, JCB machines dedicated team of vendors has only 4 people. Seem few, but they are well supported by logistics and service Agropartners NHR.
"We have a small but well planned. Our people go to England every time something new, to specialize. And so far, the service, we had only minor problems such as a faulty sensor. "
Understanding of the advantages of a partner, Kiraly remembers "show-room use NHR sites to expose JCB tractors, their use and storage of spare parts but mostly we guarantee their service team extremely large across the country. This can be a guarantee of seriousness for any farmer. "

(Not Fastrac 3000 Xtra was launched late last year in the presence of a group of journalists from all over Europe agrarians. Producer asked each one representative from each country. Choosing our publication as to attend the event, honors us. )

Nutrigenomics - a new field of genetics

2012-09-16T00:42:00.000-07:00

Soon, animal husbandry activities could be much more efficient by applying the principles of a new discovery of genetics - nutrigenomics

In recent years, the science of genetics were new fields of knowledge development process of living beings. First took shape and then they said the general laws or rules by which characters are inherited from parents to offspring.

Knowledge gained were a new science called genetics. It was developed so that we know not only what is the genetic material that lists all encoded morphological, physiological and psychological characteristics of a living being, but also that it is structured and how it works he chose for them to be accomplish during development from conception to death.

At this amazing process involved a lot of types of proteins that are entered, encoded in the structure of hereditary material (DNA and RNA from higher beings to viruses). Each sector of the hereditary material in which it appears the structure of a particular type of protein is called gene.

In light of this knowledge, it is now widely accepted that if a gene is normally made, the character of the "answer" it will develop normally. But if it is damaged (has a mutation), whether morphological, physiological, or psychological harm that it causes will develop abnormally.

Here, however, that in recent years, research has shown that there are cases where, although the gene is normally made it work abnormally or even blocked by some "brakes" that oppose its normal operation. Consequently, the character that leads to abnormal development will occur. Such a phenomenon is said to be one epigenetic and science that I called epigenetic studies.

Mutations could be corrected by diet

Currently, we have accumulated more and more knowledge provide evidence that some genes start up and "factory" protein responsible not only control factors outside or inside the cell (as it was known until now), but also in order to come to the tissues of food nutrients (amino acids, fatty acids, simple sugars, minerals, vitamins).

Thus, insufficient or excessive nutrients influence the functioning of the individual tissues or organs, causing disease or inconsistent with development which includes family characteristics. He was born as a new field of genetics, called nutrigenomic.

Geneticists who study this area of activitade go on two lines of research. One is nutrigenomics, which aims to discern how a nutrient causes the arrival of a gene or influences and even stops activity, and the other is nutrigenetica, which aims to discover the causes of differences in response to specific nutrients the body human or animal individuals who already possess certain mutations in genes involved in the creation and sale of substances in cells.

They hope that, when they gain more knowledge in this field, doctors or nutritionists can interfere with certain diet to prevent certain metabolic diseases in humans or to manipulate development and functioning more intense and rapid of tissues to farm animals.

This means that if we know that an individual possesses a specific mutation that does not allow the cells to synthesize a particular protein involved in the decomposition of a nutrient or other substance in its transformation, its failing in the diet will prevent the manifestation of that phenomenon. Has resulted in some facts.

Preventable diseases

We know that some children are born with a mutant gene that makes it impossible synthesis of protein-enzyme involved in the metabolism of an amino acid (phenylalanine) in food reaching the cells. As a result, the child will be seriously affected functional. But if he will receive a lifetime diet with foods that do not contain the amino acid phenylalanine, he will develop normally.

An individual who has a mutation in the gene that helps regulate blood absorption from the intestine into the food of vegetable sterols (like cholesterol in structure) will develop severe atherosclerosis at a young age. A diet containing foods with a low in such fats will help maintain a normal state of cholesterol in the blood and thus avoid early ateroscerozei.

Another example that helps us understand nutrigenomicii point is this discovery. Among the genes that contribute to fat metabolism and insulin sensitivity of cells called SREBP-1c is one that can be caused to come into operation by administering a high content of fructose.

If such a mutant gene is functional, it will increase insulin resistance and therefore installation type 2 diabetes. The remedy in this case would be to avoid excessive consumption of fructose.

Food must be adapted to each individual genotype

Also, some cardiovascular diseases, even cancer, may be caused by an improper diet that has individual genetics. People with a high concentration of fat in the blood (hyperlipidaemia) have higher risks to atherosclerosis. If, however, undergo treatment with specific drugs (statins) accompanied by proper diet, they react differently to each other.

Geneticists have established that the diversity of reaction is owed possession of different variants of genes involved in fat metabolism. Knowledge of these aspects for each individual could contribute to improving the management of differentiated treatment for drug or diet that meets its genotype.

Researchers have found that red meat is roasted at high temperatures forming so-called heterocyclic aromatic amines which, when activated by acetylation, may interfere with DNA, causing colon cancer. However, this phenomenon can happen to people who have a particular variant - the three possible - a gene involved in the activation of heterocyclic aromatic amines.

All the examples described here lead us to believe that soon, people will make special DNA analysis, and genotype that you have, adopt a specific diet and medication doctor may apply a customized each individual.

I am sure that such conduct will be taken soon, and the animal husbandry and veterinary in order to make their activities more profitable and efficient.

The world market for agricultural machinery is increasing

2012-09-16T00:33:00.002-07:00

It is estimated that by 2014, the global market for agricultural equipment will grow by 4.5% per year, reaching 123 billion dollars, according to a new report released in early august of Freedonia

Market development is accelerating due to mechanization of the agricultural sector in developing countries, especially in densely populated regions such as China and India. Agriculture in these countries is still inefficient mechanical, compared with developed countries.

Moreover, robust economic growth in both countries can sustain such growth, especially that the consumption of agricultural products per capita is growing.

Apart from China and India and other developing nations with huge agricultural potential, such as Brazil, Indonesia, Russia and Thailand recorded the highest growth of the agricultural sector, following the mechanization of agriculture and increase farmers' incomes.

Agricultural machinery market in Western Europe will grow easier, due to the expected reduction in EU budget post-2013 CAP change perspective, but also due to its number of inhabitants.

Both the United States and Western Europe will be negatively affected by the ongoing trend of trade liberalization and reducing protectionist measures such as national subsidies for farmers and tariffs on agricultural imports. Brazil and Russia are the main countries that will benefit from increased opportunities to export agricultural products.

Delivery "gold" for Challenger

Compared with the models 6400/7400, the cabin was redesigned, now having curved windshield to improve visibility, and a new additional lighting. The overall design of the car is improved and the seat can be swiveled to the side. There is also the option for a mechanical or hydraulic cab suspension.

AGCO is investing in China for the production of tractors

AGCO Group will invest nearly $ 350 million in design and manufacture of tractors in China, said Martin Richenhagen, president and CEO of the corporation. The investment will include the design and construction of a factory for assembling tractors up to 125 hp and components. Plant construction can begin in October and by the end of 2012 will be produced first tractors.

The company has acquired land for the project but its location was not disclosed.
In April this year, AGCO announced its intention to acquire a 80% of Shandong Dafeng Machinery Co. to add to its portfolio of products for the Chinese market, machines for harvesting corn, grain, rice and soybeans.

CNH - net sales, up

CNH Global NV announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Thus, net sales rose 24% to $ 4.9 billion due to improved terms of trade for agricultural equipment and higher demand in each region.

Of the total sales of agricultural machinery rose 22% to $ 3.9 billion. From construction equipment growth was 30% and reached $ 1 billion. Equipment net sales growth for the second quarter was 79% for agricultural equipment and 21% for construction machinery.

Geographical distribution of revenues for this period was 42% in North America, 35% in Europe and the CIS states and 15% in Latin America and North America.

For 2011, CNH Group's objectives are: modernization of production, revenue growth of 15-20% and an operating margin of approx. 7.1 to 7.9%.

Valtra's A Series enter the era of hi-tech

2012-09-15T23:59:00.003-07:00

HiTech new electronic reversing to move back and forth uniform is now available to Series A. This device - feature "traditional" Valtra tractors is considered the best on the market tractors

Smooth and precise linear oscillatory motion is a great advantage in situations where working with loader. The system includes also integrated handbrake board, which means safer and more comfortable operation.

Addition reversing new, new A Series tractors have two speed PTO, driven by a hydraulic multidisc clutch. PTO is operated through simple switches and hydraulic system provides easy switching without shocks. Control switches can be optionally placed on mudguards.

Valtra A 93 - As smoothly in both directions of travel

A new series tractors feature AGCO SISU POWER engine, 3.3 liter Common Rail. Fuel injection system helps reduce noise and fuel consumption. With the introduction of electronic engine management system EMS Series is available with cruise control (cruise control).

To operate the front upper link and transmission was developed a number of new automated features. Electronic clutch control front, called the Self, is very accurate and switches to raise / lower link balls are on both rear mudguard.

The unique feature of Valtra tractors, Autotraction and drive system are ideal for performing tasks requiring repeated stops and starts. The list of options is also included informant board Proline, existing series so far only larger.
