Flagship model in New Holland T7 long wheelbase

The new flagship model in the New Holland T7 long wheelbase (LWB) range delivers more power, more comfort and more choices for each customer. A new power-to-weight ratio and performance standard is being set by New Holland Agriculture with the North America introduction of the T7.300 LWB tractor with PLM Intelligence. As the most powerful and compact tractor in its power bracket, it delivers more power while maintaining the dimensions and maneuverability of other T7 models. Complementing this performance, the new model utilizes the superior operator environment of the Horizon Ultra cab and a range of inter-cab technology and features to maximize productivity, efficiency and uptime.

All T7 models have a reputation for providing high-level hydraulic performance; this T7.300 is no different. It utilizes new features like high-flow, electro-hydraulic remotes that have fully configurable controls, and a new hydraulic circuit with an optimized design to reduce connections by 30% and features remote test ports for fast fault finding. Customers will also be able to manage heavy implements with confidence with the new self-centering hydraulic stabilizers with adjustable lock points. The customizable advanced joystick controls up to six remote valves, providing excellent operator ergonomics.

Case IH introduces AFS Furrow Command for Precision Disk air drills

Case IH is proud to build on the legacy of AFS Soil Command and AFS Harvest Command with AFS Furrow Command downforce automation – designed to maximize producers’ yield potential. Available to order for spring 2023, the Precision Disk series air drill with AFS Furrow Command will help producers get the most out of every seed. AFS Furrow Command adds to the accuracy of our patented parallel-link row unit by helping automate downforce settings and maintain consistent seed depth regardless of terrain.

AFS Furrow Command downforce automation technology offers a clear advantage over current down pressure systems by simplifying operation. The operator does not have to change settings for different conditions to achieve seed-depth consistency. AFS Furrow Command adjusts the hydraulic pressure for each frame section independently for improved depth control. Feedback from the system also allows operators to minimize the force required to maintain gauge wheel contact with the ground for reduced component wear.

Precision Disk air drills with AFS Furrow Command optimize seed accuracy and placement. And it's durable and easy to use. For growers, the result is more productivity and efficiency with maximum return on investment.
