If you're looking for the latest models of tractors, harvesters, or other equipment, it doesn't hurt to have a global perspective. This past November, the Esposizione Internazionale di Macchine per l'Agricoltura (EIMA, or Italian Equipment Manufacturers Association) International Exposition in Bologna, Italy, featured a five-day schedule of seminars, forums, and machinery and equipment for all types of agricultural operations on display. The event, held Nov. 11-16, featured more than 1,600 manufacturers and a grand total of 140,682 visitors, 16% of whom were from outside Italy.
Below, you can check out some of the equipment that was on display, along with the manufacturers' Web sites for more information. If you're interested in attending the next EIMA Expo, it's scheduled for Nov. 10-14, 2010.

The 900-millimeter diameter fan provides uniformity in foliage covering and guarantees proper air speed near the trees and plants. It can be retrofitted to all GEO T models from Nobili, with tanks of 1,000 to 2,000 liters (approximately 250 to 500 gallons).
