Highline Manufacturing releases the next-generation RP 800 – rock picker
Meet the rock picker that changes the game. With an 80-inch picking width and nothing blocking your view ahead of the reel, you will see more, pick faster and leave nothing behind. Every tine, plate and panel has been engineered for strength and easy maintenance.
The new design delivers a 5.4-cubic-yard bucket volume, cutting down your dump trips. The patented adjustable dump height, up to 9.5 feet, makes rock trailer loading effortless. The apron and bucket keep dirt moving through, so you can work without constant stops.
Built tough from the ground up, reversible heavy-duty reel bats with an improved tensioning system ensure long-lasting performance. The wide 550/45-22.5 flotation tires protect your fields while keeping you moving. This isn’t just another rock picker – it’s the one your neighbor wishes they had.
With more capacity, better visibility, stronger components and smarter engineering, it’s the ultimate tool for clearing rocks fast and efficiently.
At the heart of the RP 800 is the guided reel; using bogie wheels that follow a precision track, the guided reel travels parallel to the ground to pull rocks toward the apron instead of pushing them into the soil.
From there, it lifts the rocks smoothly onto the apron and delivers them to the center of the bucket, always following the same contour as the apron. The result is cleaner, more efficient rock collection with improved bucket loading and consistent performance in every pass.

Kuhn introduces MM 952 and 1092 center-delivery twin mergers
Kuhn North America Inc. announces the launch of the Kuhn Merge Maxx MM 952 and MM 1092 hay mergers, designed to meet the demands of large-scale farming operations and custom operators. With an impressive working width of up to 36 feet (11 meters), these new models replace the MM 950 and MM 1090, offering upgrades in performance and operator comfort. The center-delivery concept provides up to eight different delivery options to create windrows tailored to specific harvesting practices, forage densities and field conditions.
A standout feature of these models is the ISOBUS controls with a new human-machine interface (HMI), allowing operators to make quick and efficient adjustments throughout the day. These controls manage functions such as individual lifting, belt direction and speed, working height, pickup speed and more, all from the cab.
The standard hydropneumatic suspension system ensures smooth terrain following and excellent ground adaptation. This responsive system allows the machine to float over uneven terrain, with pressure settings easily adjusted via the ISOBUS terminal. Additionally, the adjustable wind guard with guide roller automatically adapts to varying crop volumes, directing forage efficiently onto the belt and producing fluffy, consistent windrows.
The pickup system has also been refined, featuring a compact five-tine bar cam-style design that promotes optimal forage collection. Synthetic stripper bands come standard, making inspection and routine maintenance more convenient. A newly designed transfer plate behind the pickup further improves crop flow, promoting a smooth transition from pickup to belt.

JLG introduces the new AG619 telehandler
JLG Industries announces the JLG AG619 agriculture telehandler, an all-new midsize machine designed to deliver performance in a compact package. Purpose-built for agricultural operations, the AG619 combines the lift capacity, lift height and advanced features farmers need to work more efficiently across barns, fields and feedlots.
The JLG AG619 was designed from the ground up for farmers who need more than a compact loader but don’t require the size of a standard telehandler. With a 6,150-pound lift capacity, 19-foot lift height and 10-foot, 1-inch forward reach, the AG619 is ideal for everyday farming applications such as stacking bales, loading feed mixers, cleaning barns and towing trailers. Its compact footprint – just 6 feet, 11 inches wide and 7 feet, 5 inches tall, combined with a tight turning radius of 142 inches – makes it highly maneuverable.
Equipped with a Deutz TCD 3.6L 100-horsepower engine and a two-speed hydrostatic transmission, the AG619 combines strength with speed. Its hydraulic output of 24 gallons per minute at 3,480 pounds per square inch provides the muscle needed to power demanding attachments, while its 22-mph top travel speed ensures efficiency when traveling around farmyards and in between fields.
The full-size cab, shared with larger models, features wide visibility, intuitive controls and optional air conditioning and suspension seating to reduce fatigue during long workdays. A multifunctional joystick provides precision control over the attachment, and an optional multifunction display with reversing camera and electronic load charts keeps information at the operator’s fingertips.

New Holland receives recognition for corn header automation
New Holland’s innovative engineering and expertise are developing answers to the challenges faced by farmers worldwide.
New Holland Corn Header Automation integrates advanced automation and artificial intelligence into combine corn headers, making it the most sophisticated corn header technology available. Designed to empower operators of all skill levels, it helps maximize harvest efficiency by reducing crop losses, boosting throughput, cutting fuel costs and eliminating manual adjustments – saving time and money while ensuring consistently high performance.
Advanced sensing and control systems are integrated to optimize harvesting performance in real time. They include deck plate automation that adjusts the gap between plates based on crop conditions, and stalk processing automation that controls stalk roll speed and header attack angle to match crop moisture, stalk condition and field variability.
Multiple shatter sensors enable real-time feedback and closed-loop control for header settings, while ground speed matching synchronizes header processing with combine ground speed to optimize throughput and reduce losses.
