New floater line
Case IH’s new FLX Series floater line offers four models for commercial applicators.
The three-wheel FLX3010 and FLX3510 and the four-wheel FLX4010 and FLX4510 floaters offer either 300 or 350 hp. All four models can be equipped with new models of the FLX810 Flex-Air applicator or the FLX610 liquid system. The new chassis is built on a durable frame of rectangular cross-section steel that provides almost twice the bending resistance of typical I-beams, as well as more torsion and load-carrying capacity.
The floaters feature a Case IH Surveyor cab similar to that found on Case IH STX series Steiger tractors.

New tire line
Michelin has added a new size for its MachXBib radial tire line designed for combines.
The 900/60R32 has a large footprint, rounded shoulders and ultra-low pressure for less soil compaction and decreased rut depth.
The company says that in tests on combines under loads of up to 18,800 lb. per tire, the 900/60R32 had a footprint 15 percent larger than that of a comparably sized, competitive radial tire.
Two steel crown belt plies enhance the tire’s ability to carry heavy loads for longer life.
The MachXBib also comes in a range of other sizes.
