Front-end loaders
New Holland’s new, expanded line of front-end loaders complements the company’s 60-305 hp agricultural and utility tractors.
Seventy attachments are available to maximize front-end loader performance, including a variety of buckets, multi-use forks, pallet forks, specialized silage buckets, standard and heavy-duty bale grips, a hydraulic bale split attachment and round and large square bale transportation forks.
The new 800TL front-end loaders give operators a view of the bucket and worksite without stretching and straining.
The automatic lock makes it easy to mount or dismount the loader without tools. The spring-loaded locking pin and mechanism stay with the loader, so there’s no searching for parts.

Nytro Ag Corp and Green Lightning recieved an innovation award at Ag in Motion 2025 for the Green Lightning Nitrogen Machine, which converts atmospheric nitrogen into a plant-usable form.
The loader is controlled by an electro-hydraulic joystick, which provides fingertip control of all loader movements. The joystick has a built-in wrist support so the operator can control the loader with minimal movements and less fatigue.
The Soft Ride loader suspension serves as a progressive shock absorber to dampen shock loads transmitted to the tractor. Located inside the loader torque tube, Soft Ride reduces stress on both the operator and the equipment.
Case IH guidance monitor
Case IH is making autoguidance for cropping systems more integrated, flexible and easy to use.
“Being freed up from the task of steering reduces stress and fatigue, and allows the operator to stay in the field longer and remain productive,” said Kirk Wesley, global marketing
advanced farming systems manager.
The new Case IH AFS Pro 600 colour monitor is used with
Case IH AccuGuide Systems to provide both curved and straight line guidance on the new Axial-Flow 7010 and 8010 series combines, as well as Magnum and Steiger tractors.
In addition to autoguidance, the AFS Pro 600 handles yield monitoring and mapping tasks on all Case IH Axial-Flow combine models, including the Axial-Flow 2577 and 2588 combines.
The AFS Pro 600 also offers log-in capability, which allows
the operator to log specific data on each field, for precision
passes every time through.
Lexion straw walkers
Claas Omaha announces new straw walker technology with the introduction of the Lexion 570 combine.
The Lexion 570 features six high performance straw walkers and an award-winning multifinger separation system, for improved threshing and separation of the grain. With its 67 inch wide threshing and separation system, Claas said the Lexion 570 leads the industry in threshing and separation area.
Bob Armstrong, product marketing manager in Omaha, said, “all Lexion combines contain the Accelerated Pre-Separation System, separating up to 30 percent of the grain at the APS cylinder and sending it to the cleaning system. This allows the combine increased crop throughput and ensures even crop flow through the machine.”

New Cummins engine
Cummins Inc. recently introduced its new QSB3.3 engine. The power range of this 3.3 litre engine extends from 80 to 110 hp and is the first industrial engine of its size to incorporate full-authority electronic controls and a high pressure common rail fuel system.
At 110 hp, the Tier 3 QSB3.3 offers equivalent performance to that of larger four-to 4.5-litre engines, but with the fuel economy and installation advantage of a 3.3 litre engine.
With an engine package that is 30 percent smaller and lighter than four litre sized engines and an optional structural oil pan, the engine is ideal for compact tractors, skid steers and other farm equipment.
The top-rated 110 hp QSB3.3 meets Tier 3/Stage IIIA emissions levels, yet achieves better fuel efficiency than the lower-rated 85 hp mechanical B3.3 at Tier 2/Stage II.
The Cummins high pressure common rail fuel system enables high pressure fuel injection from 11,600 to 16,000 psi to be maintained independent of engine rpm speed.
Combined with precision electronic control of fuel metering and timing, this results in easier cold starting, improved idle stability and faster load acceptance.
Noise has been reduced to 75 dBA at idle and 88.9 dBA at full load for the 110 hp model.

Rate controller for
pull-type sprayers
John Deere recently introduced Swath Control Pro for 4710, 4720, 4920 and 4930 self-propelled sprayers, automatically turns the sprayers’ boom sections on and off according to a global positioning system coverage map.
Now, John Deere introduces the GreenStar 2 Rate Controller to automate spray rate control and enable Swath Control Pro on pull-type sprayers.
The GS2 Rate Controller is designed to replace the Raven SCS 440, 450 and 471 consoles, typically used in pull-type sprayers, and it will allow the GreenStar 2 display to take over the spray rate control functions.
As well, the operator can use Swath Control Pro
with pull-type sprayers while making passes through the field.
This allows the sprayer to turn boom sections on and off according to a GPS field map, which reduces spray overlap and lowers input costs for the grower.
The GS2 Rate Controller uses only the GS2 display for rate control, guidance, on-screen mapping, field documentation, map-based prescriptions, and Swath Control Pro. The GS2 display includes full colour and a touch screen.
