All-new case IH Puma Series tractor has improved maneuverability
Case IH is revealing its all-new Puma series tractor, reconfigured for unmatched performance with the most reliable and efficient runtime. Featuring a new vehicle design, the reimagined Puma series allows operators to enjoy a smoother ride with superior maneuverability as well as access to the latest precision technology.
The Puma – available in 155-, 165- or 185-horsepower models – sets a new standard of performance and efficiency for varying operational needs. Featuring an advanced CVXDrive transmission, the Puma offers improved load handling, traction and working speeds, allowing operators to use power more economically.
Costs are lowered thanks to efficient fuel consumption, and productivity increases with long 750-hour service intervals and the powerful FieldOps platform. The tractor’s gross vehicle weight has increased by 18%.
The tractor’s compact, powerful package provides maneuverability, while the new front axle suspension offers an agile turn radius of 37 feet 5 inches with greater safety and stability at high speeds of 31.07 miles per hour. Enhanced braking responsiveness, updated linkage and hitch, and a new transmission improve the tractor's drivability and implement control.
The Puma features integrated precision technology with three technology packages available to meet individual operators’ needs. The Puma is configured with ISOBUS and Tractor Implement Management (TIM) for compatibility with the implements of today, as well as Connectivity Included and expandable electronic architecture for ease of future technology integration.

New Case IH precision technology offers increased flexibility and efficiency
Case IH is advancing precision technology for operators through key innovations such as SenseApply sense and act spray technology and Case IH FieldOps updates. By providing actionable insights and enhanced precision, these tech solutions deliver increased efficiency and maximized profit potential.
SenseApply provides the most versatile and economical variable-rate application solution available. It offers unmatched multiseason functionality without compromising quality or reliability, and can cover more acres in each operating window, meeting target application rates at up to 24.85 miles per hour.
Featuring a uniquely positioned, multispectral camera on top of the cab, SenseApply precisely captures field and plant images up to 137.8 feet wide and 49.21 feet in front of the device.
Integrated into FieldOps and Raven Slingshot, SenseApply can easily align application plans to individual agronomist’s recommendations. SenseApply is now available as a factory fit or retrofit option.
Case IH continues to enhance FieldOps, a comprehensive platform connecting all aspects of farming operations. The new feature AI Boundary Creation allows operators to quickly generate field boundaries using satellite imagery and machine learning, saving valuable time and effort.
Operators can also use Boundary Management, which allows customers to draw and create digital field boundaries more efficiently.
To help operators troubleshoot issues, FieldOps users can now initiate Remote Display View with an existing Raven Display. By clicking “Connect to Display” on the overview page and inserting the seven-digit session code on the FieldOps website, users can now view and control in-cab display.

Can-Am introduces new Defender HD11 alongside an all-electric Outlander
The Defender line, popular with those who prefer a workhorse side-by-side UTV over a sport model, is getting a new addition. Despite being the youngest in the line, the HD11, Can-Am’s new-generation upgrade, could be called the "big" brother of the older models.
It has an all-new 999-cc, inline three-cylinder Rotax engine that puts out 95 horsepower and 70 pound-feet of torque.
The HD11’s engine gets paired with a new CVT transmission and Can-Am’s pDrive primary clutch, which the company says are designed to improve low-speed power delivery and boost its workhorse capability. The transmission has three selectable drive modes – normal, work and sport – to optimize engine performance for the task at hand.
This Defender rides on a redesigned suspension that gives it a 65-inch track width and 50% larger A-arms. Ground clearance is 12 inches at the front suspension and 15 at the rear. Turning radius has also been reduced to improve maneuverability.
If having an internal combustion engine in an off-road machine isn’t for you, Can-Am is also introducing a battery-electric version of the Outlander all-terrain vehicle (ATV).
Powered by the same modular Rotax E-Power battery pack the brand is using in its electric snowmobiles and motorcycles, the Outlander delivers a rated 47 horsepower and 53 pound-feet of torque. Range in “optimal conditions” is 50 miles, and recharging from 20% to 80% takes about 50 minutes on a Level 2 charger.

New Holland rolls out the future of baling with the all-new Roll-Belt 1 Series
New for model year 2026, New Holland introduces the Roll-Belt 1 Series, a reengineered lineup of variable-chamber round balers designed to help haymakers work smarter, bale faster and ensure producers stay connected. With three updated models, this new series integrates more durability, more feeding capacity and more technology into New Holland round balers than ever before.
Feeding performance gets a major boost in the Roll-Belt 451, 461 and 561 models. A newly designed single roller wind guard now comes standard on all overshot feeder pickup models. Boasting a larger 8.4-inch roller – 60% larger in diameter than its predecessor – helps better compress the crop mat and improve feeding into the chamber.
For those baling larger windrows, a new dual roller wind guard is available as an option on the Roll-Belt 561 model. The front and rear rollers pivot independently, providing adaptive control in variable crop and ground conditions. Operators can also lock both rollers together when compressing loose or fluffy windrows.
Roll-Belt 451 and 461 models offer Rotor Feeder and Rotor Cutter pickup options that feature premium Diamond drive chains, which are widely known for their strength and durability. All three models sport upgraded chain specs from RC80 to RC100 on the belt drive roll chain, further enhancing the machine’s ability to handle high-volume-feed-capacity tasks with confidence.
Other improvements include redesigned pickup flares that improve edge feeding and additional bolt-in wind guard tines for better crop compression and even feeding. The number of tines has increased across its two pickup options (1.8 meter and 2.0 meter), and bolt-in designs make them easier to adjust or remove to suit different crop types and reduce trash buildup.

New Holland grows its PowerStar tractor series
New Holland adds to the PowerStar tractor series with PowerStar Electro Command motels. The new transmission option offers PowerStar operators unprecedented power, automatic transmission, lift capacity and advanced comfort features.
The PowerStar Electro Command delivers performance with its utility-sized footprint. Rated at 110 and 120 horsepower, with PTO horsepower of 85 and 99, it’s suitable for crop, dairy and general livestock operations and excels in hay and light fieldwork.
With a rear lift capacity of more than 10,000 pounds (5.2 tons), the Electro Command has nearly double the rear lift capacity compared to other PowerStar tractors and utility tractors available on the market. This attribute gives operators greater capability to haul heavier feed loads and bales than any other utility tractor.
The two new models feature a 21-gallon-per-minute load-sensing hydraulic pump that delivers targeted power exactly where it’s needed to maximize efficiency and maintain light, precise steering. Up to three rear remotes and electronic or midmount valves support a wide range of implements for a variety of tasks, including feeding livestock, baling hay and spreading fertilizer.
All PowerStar Electro Command machines can be equipped with CNH loader and customers can choose a loader to meet their operation's needs, making it easier to customize the tractor to fit their workflow.
An update that truly sets the PowerStar Electro Command apart is its 16-by-16 semipowershift transmission, a long-requested feature from PowerStar customers. Unlike the traditional 12-by-12 transmission or Dual Command’s high/low split found on other PowerStar tractors, this configuration allows clutchless shifts between key ranges (A/B and C/D) and includes up to eight automatic gear shifts without pressing even a button for seamless, automatic gear shifting.
