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!!
