Combine, new tractors and a focus on technology on show at EIMA
- CaseIH unveils the AF10 harvester to European farmers
- Upgraded Farmall C tractors
- First Italian market display of the new Quadtrac 715 tractor
- FieldOps™ & Connect Room
In a display confirming its commitment to support large farm and contracting enterprises boost productivity and minimise total cost of ownership, Case IH is using its presence at EIMA International 2024 (Bologna, Nov 6-10, stand B/5, hall 14) to launch a brand new combine, display for the first time in Italy the new Case IH Quadtrac 715 flagship tractor, and show technology developments including the new FieldOps™ app. There is news for smaller farms too, in the form of the updated Farmall C series tractors.
Concluding a season that Case IH has titled its ‘Year of the Combine’, the debut of the AF10, to be shown with a 15m (50ft) header, follows the unveiling one year ago at Agritechnica of the Axial-Flow 160 and 260 series combines, which are now available to order for 2025. The new AF10 takes Case IH combines into a new capacity category, beyond the 7260 (498hp with 11,100 or 14,400-litre grain tank), 8260 (571hp with 14,400-litre grain tank), and 9260 (634hp with 14,400-litre grain tank). Full details on the AF10 specification are being kept under wraps until the show.
A Tractor of the Year 2025 finalist in the HighPower Category (300hp+), the new 778hp Quadtrac 715, now the range-topping model in the articulated four-tracked tractor series, will make its EIMA debut. In addition, a new development will be revealed for MY2025 tractors. Launched one year ago, the Quadtrac 715 has been recognised in the EIMA Technical Innovation Awards for the productivity and comfort benefits promised by new heavy-duty mechanical suspension with hydraulic cushioning. It permits higher travel speeds on rough ground to ensure high workrates and the desired results from implements, and maximises each track footprint for more pulling power and the lowest possible ground pressure.
Also on the stand will be a Puma 260 tractor, head of the Puma range and a Tractor of the Year 2025 finalist in the MidPower category. A new Farmall 120C will illustrate the updates recently introduced to the Farmall C tractor series. Beneath bold new family styling which matches that of other recent Case IH tractor launches, Farmall C upgrades include more hydraulic output, higher gross vehicle weight, larger tyre options, an updated front axle and full precision farming technology availability.
Alongside the machine news will be a focus on technology, including the latest CNH developments and a Connect Room showing the value of remote monitoring. FieldOps, Case IH’s new all-in-one data management mobile app and web platform, connects and integrates agronomic insights and machine performance data, providing farmers with a comprehensive all-brand fleet overview regardless of their machine makes. Connectivity Included can eliminate time-based telematics subscriptions on selected new machines and simplifies the customizing of technology needs.
The stand will also feature the latest parts and service innovations from CNH Parts & Service with a focus on maximising productivity and profitability from Case IH machines through their lifetimes, to cut costs and downtime. Available in five European countries, mycnhstore.com, the online parts store, allows users to receive quotes, make secure, convenient and personalised parts purchases, choose to “click&collect”, share their cart, and more.
