Our friend Timo (from Laihia – Finland) and author of the website
konedata.net
sends us his comments and photos from last week’s visit to the
EIMA farm fair in Bologna. A farm fair with an ever increasing number of visitors (record attendance
at this edition) and which showcased all the latest machinery and technology
from the 1,750 exhibiting companies. Without further ado, here is Timo’s
summary:
Biggest agricultural machinery exhibition in Europe this fall was
EIMA in Bologna, Italy. The uncertain economic situation did not weaken the popularity of the
exhibition: there were 346,000 visitors from 150 countries in EIMA.
The Tractor of The Year 2025 awards
were awarded in EIMA. The winner of the “top category” Tractor of the Year
for high power was the Case IH Quadtrac 715 model, while the
Fendt 620 Vario DP
won in the medium power range.
The Steyr 4120 Plus
won the award for best utility tractor in the 70-150 horsepower range. Steyr
and its sister models
Case IH Farmall
C and
New Holland T5 DC
were the most interesting new tractors at the exhibition. Quite recent new
models are also e.g.
JD 6M
and
Fendt e107 Vario.
Also the most significant new combine harvester was a CNH product,
New Holland CR 11. In this combine many things have been rethought especially for maximizing
the width of the threshing machinery without increasing the transport
width.
In addition to the usual tractor brands, many Italian special tractors as
well as Asian and Eastern European tractor brands such as
Farmtrac, Irum,
Basak,
Avenger
and TYM were
presented at EIMA.
Arbos has
left the market, its models have been added to the
Lovol
brand range and production moved from Italy to China.
Different irrigation solutions, bush and tree sprayers and deep cultivation
tools are presented especially lot at EIMA. Naturally, various precision
farming solutions and agricultural robots are also on display.
Maschio Gaspardo
showed a 10 m power harrow and
Alpego a
electric rotary harrow. Giant-made
Kubota telehandlers
will be introduced to many new markets.
Italian Aries
showed telescopic tractor front loader.
Thank you very much Timo!!
