As the first international machinery showcase for nearly two years, exhibitors at EIMA Show were awash with brand new machines, plenty of updates and concepts to sate the visitors’ demand for new equipment. Alex Heath reports on the tractor developments from the exhibition halls in Bologna.
Manufacturer of orchard and speciality tractors Antonio Carraro decided to show a concept at its home show.
The SRX Hybrid is based on the firm’s standard tractors but includes an electric motor for particularly challenging situations. Running a three-cylinder Kohler engine, developing 75hp, 95 per cent of the time, there is enough power available, says the manufacturer. However, for the 5 per cent when there is not enough, a 20kW motor kicks in, sending extra power to the wheels. The plug-in hybrid system also recovers energy when travelling downhill. Still in testing, there was no date put on when the tractor would be commercially released.
McCormick had a host of its new short wheel base X7 models on show. Taking design prompts from the X7.624, the range features four models. Two four cylinder models using an FPT 4.5-litre engine: X7.417 with 165hp and X7.418 with up to 175hp and two, six cylinder models: X7.617 (165hp) and X7.618 (175hp) from a 6.7-litre unit from the same provider. All models are available with the P6-Drive powershift transmission, while the largest model in each engine configuration is available with VT-Drive CVT. Wheel bases are 2,651 and 2,760mm respectively. Maximum permissible weight is 11,500 kg and 710/60R38 rear tyres can be fitted.
Robotics were a big focus of the show, however, one of the largest and most eye catching was from start-up company Earth Automations.
Running a four-litre FPT engine putting out 75hp, the tracked tool carrier can be used autonomously or as a remote control. The rear linkage has a capacity of 3,535kg.
Using RTK, accurate to 10mm, the robot uses artificial intelligence to adapt to is surroundings.
Cameras and sensors develop different maps to enable the robot to ‘see’ all around it and give the operator an in-depth map of the terrain. The firm says the DooD is available to buy and it is looking for potential customers that would like to be part of long-term trials with the machine.
