New Holland’s next-generation technology stack offering, groundbreaking harvesting and utility equipment headlined 2024 Farm Progress Show

Advancements from an elevated digital and precision technology stack to all-new harvesting innovations made their North American debut and led the way for New Holland Agriculture at the 2024 Farm Progress Show in Boone, Iowa.

At this year's showcase, New Holland unveiled four new equipment launches and four new additions and updates to its technology stack. These included: FieldOps™, Connectivity Included, Technology Packages, New Holland Active Implement Guidance, the CR10 combine, the model year 2025 FR Forage Cruiser self-propelled harvester, the T7.270 Long Wheelbase (LWB) tractor and the TH Series Telehandler. In addition, show attendees received a first look at new commercially ready autonomy solutions, from Grain Cart Automation to Bluewhite autonomous technology for specialty tractors. The all-new CR11 combine also made its Farm Progress Show debut in the harvesting demonstrations.

Elevated digital farm management and precision solutions released

Headlining the show for New Holland were four new digital farm management and precision technology offerings: FieldOps, Connectivity Included, Technology Packages and New Holland Active Implement Guidance.

FieldOps

Now available on the iOS App Store and Google Play Store, FieldOps is a versatile farm management tool that helps farmers expand their productivity from anywhere, anytime by taking their farm operations data and details and simplifying them into one platform. Farmers will be able to monitor every machine in real time ¹, remotely view in-cab displays to deliver better feedback to their operators and see layers of agronomic data.

Connectivity Included

This new feature grants customers limitless connectivity with no recurring subscription fees on qualifying machines². Connectivity Included provides real-time data and remote support to farmers without having to manage or renew a subscription. This is a completely new approach to connectivity that makes data accessible by simply making it part of the machine. As a baseline feature, it expands the reach and utility of connected features, helping farmers improve their productivity and use of agronomic data as they benefit from free, easy-to-use, real-time data monitoring from their machines, fleets and fields.

Technology Packages

The Technology Packages, now available in select markets, are the quickest and easiest way for farmers to add precision technology features to their machines to fit their unique and individualized needs. To address the variety of customers’ requirements, packages come in three options on qualifying machines³: Value, Core and Advanced.

New Holland Active Implement Guidance

Following the same principles of providing customers with open solutions that simplify their work, New Holland is releasing its Active Implement Guidance solution. A plug-and-play aftermarket solution, it has high implement accuracy, ideal for planting, strip-till, side-dress and windrow applications. This technology is fully built and supported with kits for all implements and applications, regardless of implement type. It is designed to be easily installed and shares the guidance line between the tractor and the implement, giving the system a more accurate target. Use of this solution greatly reduces or stops implement drift, resulting in more reliable product placement and helping increase farmers’ yield potential, while reducing crop damage and operator stress.

New machinery launches focused on elevating productivity

During the Farm Progress Show, New Holland debuted four new product launches and upgrades for 2025. Each piece of equipment embodies New Holland’s mission to elevate customers’ operational capabilities and productivity.

CR10 combine

The new CR10 features the same industry-leading technology as the CR11 combine, offering maximum performance and greater profitability in the Class 9 combine segment. Its enhanced efficiency is driven by the incorporation of 24” Twin Rotors with Dynamic Feed Roll technology, the TwinClean™ cleaning system, a new drivetrain, elevated precision technology packages and a 12.9-liter FPT Cursor 13 engine with 635 horsepower.

Model year 2025 FR Forage Cruiser self-propelled forage harvesters

For 2025, the FR Forage Cruisers have been upgraded to feature an enhanced cab interior with refined controls and electronics to enhance operator comfort and productivity. New additions include a system that significantly reduces the risk of machine overload and blockage, and the CustomSteer™ system, which speeds up headland turns. These enhancements, along with Inspired by Nature styling, are available on the four-model lineup, from the 544-maximum horsepower FR550 to the 911-maximum horsepower FR920.

TH Series telehandlers

The new TH Series telehandlers — TH7.42 PLUS, TH7.42 ELITE and TH9.35 PLUS — aim to lift operator productivity to new heights. The three-model lineup offers powerful productivity with industry-leading 1,000-hour service intervals, a new 6Fx3R Powershift™ transmission and innovations like the electrohydraulic self-leveling attachment system. These machines are also designed to improve operator space and comfort with unparalleled visibility inside the 360° Vision Cab.

T7.270 LWB tractor with Power Command™

New Holland has now extended the Power Command™ full powershift transmission as an option for the T7.270 LWB tractor. With up to 19 ratios available without any break in drive, shifting gears is simple with the push of a button or by pulsing the Command Grip handle. Built for row crop applications, this tractor offers customers indisputable reliability and power to tackle the heavy load and demands of fieldwork with ease. The machine’s high productivity is driven by its compact but powerful package that features a quick-hitch frame and 60-inch tire settings.

Autonomous technology makes its mark at the Farm Progress Show

Throughout the week in Boone, attendees were introduced to the latest, in-market autonomous technologies from New Holland, and the brand’s autonomy capabilities were on full display.

New Holland participated in the official Farm Progress Show harvest demonstrations, where the new CR11 combine ran alongside a grain cart operating the Grain Cart Automation™ system, one of the first public demonstrations in North America showing these two innovations working together. The Grain Cart Automation system synchronized the combine and grain cart movements, ensuring seamless and efficient operations with real-time combining and unloading.

In the booth, New Holland showcased Bluewhite, a leading autonomous technology company enabling AI-driven autonomous farming that recently partnered with New Holland. This collaboration is currently focused on integrating Bluewhite’s autonomous technologies into New Holland tractors, particularly in the specialty and permanent crop markets. Attendees had the opportunity to learn about the autonomous features, their operational applications and potential future use on livestock and row crop operations.
