Case IH expands Vestrum Series with new models
Case IH is adding two models to the lineup of Vestrum series tractors – Vestrum 110 and Vestrum 120. The Vestrum 110 tractor will reach up to 88 power takeoff (PTO) horsepower, while the new Vestrum 120 tractor will achieve up to 102 PTO horsepower.* The Vestrum series is proven to deliver efficient power to tackle the heaviest of jobs while not compromising premium comfort in a compact design.
Vestrum now offers an optional panoramic high-visibility roof for an unobstructed view of the loader up to full lift height. Additional cab updates include a low-mount front wiper for a larger cleaning area that parks low to ensure maximum visibility. Vestrum comes standard with a mix of mechanical and electronic remotes, in addition to new all-electronic remotes option. Other updated features include a loader joystick with a forward/reverse shuttle and a new Advanced Farming Systems (AFS) Pro 700 Plus touch-screen monitor.

Great Plains introduces new vertical tillage solution
Great Plains has introduced its true vertical tillage implement, the VT1100 Turbo-Max. The new VT1100 Turbo-Max has been redesigned to further its agronomic benefits, while building on the Turbo-Max true vertical tillage legacy.
The VT1100 Turbo-Max features a robust frame to support new finishing attachments and heavier transport tires and axles. Producers can choose from a new chopper reel option for difficult, high-residue conditions, a new double basket attachment, or a single basket attachment. Both the single and double basket attachments are available to order with either flat or round bars to best match field conditions and soil types, including rocky conditions. These new rear attachments offer greater flexibility and improved post-harvest residue management and seedbed preparation.
Available in sizes from 20 to 40 feet, the new VT1100 Turbo-Max has many of the same features producers have grown to know and appreciate from the original.
Like its predecessor, the VT1100 Turbo-Max offers gang angles that adjust up to 6 degrees for multi-season applications but provides a true vertical finish when run at 0 degrees.
To provide additional control and convenience, the VT1100 Turbo-Max is offered with the optional Implement Command system, allowing producers to set, adjust and monitor the unit from the tractor cab. Implement Command is ISOBUS-compatible and works with the tractor’s existing virtual terminal.

Great Plains expands Terra-Max lineup
Great Plains Mfg. is proud to announce the expansion of its highly successful hybrid tillage tool, the Terra-Max. The HT1100 Terra-Max, a variable-intensity tool that addresses a variety of soil management needs, including sizing residue, weed control and seedbed preparation, is now available in 10-, 12- and 15-foot widths. These new models are compatible with lower-horsepower tractors for a variety of ag operations.
All Terra-Max models are designed with adjustable front and rear coulter gangs to perform variable-intensity tillage for both primary and seedbed preparation applications. The front gangs adjust from 0 to 8 degrees, while the rear coulter gangs adjust proportionally from 0 to 6 degrees for adaptability in ever-changing soil conditions. Combined with the optional double finishing reel, producers can achieve versatile soil management with a level finish.
Along with the new HT1100 Terra-Max sizes, Great Plains has also released the TS9100 Turbo-Seeder, a compatible seeding solution with the new working widths. With a 19.2 bushel capacity on 10- to 15-foot Terra-Max models, the Turbo-Seeder can seed a variety of crops such as alfalfa, cover crop mixes, small grains and other forages. The Turbo-Seeder is a cost-effective, highly productive solution that allows producers to reduce labor, fuel and maintenance costs associated with operating two separate implements.

Kinze releases 2024 planting units
Kinze Manufacturing is launching two planter models for 2024 featuring the company’s new 5000 Series row unit that’s designed to enhance planting precision, boost productivity and reduce daily maintenance time.
The sleek-styled cast row unit is fully redesigned for planting at any speed up to 12 mph. The unit will be available on Kinze’s new 5900 and 5700 planter models, both equipped with the easy-to-use Blue Vantage display and powered by Blue Drive electric drive.

The 5000 Series row unit is also available with residue control, closing wheel, fertilizer and seed-handling options to fit the needs of any farm.
The new planters will replace Kinze’s current 4905 and 4705 models with the same configurations. The 5900 will be available in 24-row, 30-inch; 16-row, 30-inch; and 12-row, 30-inch configurations. The 5700 will be offered in 36-row, 20-inch and 24-row, 30-inch versions, as well as a 24-row, 20-inch narrow row planter.
In addition to the new row unit, the 5700 24R20 planter will also feature a new 40-foot, three-section frame configuration. It offers front-mounted, high-flotation tires for reduced soil compaction and improved residue flow, a rear-facing transport camera, work lights for optimum performance and safety, durability and low maintenance.
This technologically advanced, front-fold model also provides 30 degrees of wing flex featuring high-operating and transport clearance along with generous bulk seed and fertilizer capacities, making it ideal for productive planting in high-residue conditions, rolling terrain and narrower terraces.
