CASE IH EXPANDS SOIL COMMAND

Case IH is announcing that for model year 2025, Soil Command will be factory-fitted on select sizes of Speed-Tiller 475 and VT-Flex 435 tillage equipment.

"Whether it's fewer in-and-out cab trips to adjust tillage machinery or taking soil management to the next level with prescription tillage, we are providing flexible technology solutions to meet the individual needs of farmers and their agronomic goals," said Kendal Quandahl, precision technology segment lead at Case IH.

Soil Command offers flexible tillage solutions with on-the-go, in-cab, single-button controls to manage depth, track corrections and lift to full transportation height, reducing physical stress and time lost by making manual tillage adjustments. Soil Command offers customizable presets to help farmers achieve their soil health goals.

Case IH is also introducing Active Implement Guidance. It is a plug-and-play solution that reduces implement drift. The implement guidance system shares guidance line data between the implement and the tractor, ensuring planting, strip-till, sidedress and specialty windrow applications.

JOHN DEERE EXPANDS TILLAGE LINEUP

John Deere is launching a Minimum Tillage (MT) Series In-Line Ripper and Coulter Chisel (CC) Series. The new MT Series offers increased wear component longevity, while the CC Series achieves a working speed of 7 mph.

"The new CC Series has been developed to give farmers the ability to tackle primary tillage needs faster than before," said Michael Porter, John Deere go-to-market manager for tillage equipment. The CC Series is available in five models, with 11, 13, 19, 21 or 25 standards at 15-inch spacing.

Available in configurations with five, seven, nine or 11 standards, the MT Series is designed to manage soil compactions while minimizing soil disturbance. For operators who prefer to use large row-crop tractors or four-wheel-drive tractors without a three-point hitch, the seven, nine and 11 standard implements are available with a drawn or integral hitch option. The five standard is only available with an integral hitch. Positioned for deep tillage operations, reaching depths of 12 inches to 16 inches, the MT Series offers soil conditioning in support of healthy plant growth.

All CC Series models and MT Series drawn models come standard with TruSet Active, allowing for in-cab setting adjustments for depth control on the go. Farmers can document their tillage work, and it will be sent wirelessly to their John Deere Operations Center.

CASE IH INTROS NEW FIELDOPS APP

Case IH said its all-new FieldOps mobile and web application redefines the way farmers connect, view and manage their operations. Case IH is a brand of CNH Industrial.

FieldOps connects and integrates agronomic insights and machine performance data, providing farmers with a comprehensive, real-time overview of their operations.

"FieldOps is purposefully built to deliver machine and task insights seamlessly, including details like time to completion, enabling farmers to focus on keeping their operation moving," said Kendal Quandahl, precision technology segment lead at Case IH.

The all-new Case IH FieldOps web and mobile app is available now for download in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Case IH is also introducing Connectivity Included. This is an initiative that removes subscription fees from Case IH technology for qualifying machines built and purchased after Oct. 1, 2024. This ensures that once a customer purchases their equipment, the technology is available for the life of the modem.

"By eliminating most subscription fees, farmers can be assured they not only own the iron but also the tech for as long as they have the machine and will see the benefits in the resale value," Quandahl said.

Customers who wish to activate the Connectivity Included feature on existing machines with PCM or PCMF modems can do so for a one-time fee by contacting their dealer.

NEW HOLLAND RELEASES FIELDOPS

New Holland Agriculture, a CNH Industrial brand is going live with its new FieldOps web and mobile farm management platform. It is available for download on the Apple App Store and Android Play Store.

FieldOps is a farm management tool that enables farmers to view and monitor all their CNH machines in one place. Operators can monitor every machine in real-time, remotely view in-cab displays to deliver better feedback to their operators and see layers of agronomic data -- all in one platform.

New Holland says existing MyPLM Connect users can transition to FieldOps.

To make data management even easier for farmers, FieldOps has more than 40 API (application programming interface) connections available globally, creating seamless integrations with third-party digital platforms.

As with Case IH, New Holland Agriculture is releasing its Connectivity Included feature. Connectivity Included is a feature that grants customers limitless connectivity with no recurring subscription fees on qualifying machines.

Customers with existing machines and capable telematics modems can purchase Connectivity Included functionality for a one-time fee.
