“Our product innovations and updates center around making farmers and ranchers more productive, more efficient, and more sustainable.

Highlights of the Case IH products showcased at Agritechnica include:
Tractors
Case IH has the most complete tractor product line globally, with products offering peak horsepower ranging from 25 to 778 hp models, as well as internal combustion and electric engines. Agritechnica marks the launch of the Quadtrac 715 – Case IH’s most powerful tractor ever. Sporting max horsepower of 778 and aggressive new hood styling, the Quadtrac 715 is as nimble as it is powerful. Farmall will nod to its past while focusing on its future for its 100th year with displays ranging from the original, historic Farmall to the brand’s first fully-electric tractor, the Farmall 75C Electric.
“Electric vehicles represent the next step in our decarbonization strategy, as a means to further improve the performance, efficiency and sustainability of internal combustion solutions,” says Joe Miller, global tractor marketing manager for Case IH. “Farmers are exceptionally savvy businesspeople who protect their operation and demand performance. This tractor works for a broad range of applications – vineyards, airfields – even managing livestock in enclosed areas.”
In addition to the Quadtrac 715 and the Farmall 75C Electric, Case IH will also share information on marketing year updates for the Vestrum Active Drive 8, Optum 340 CVXDrive, Quantum N and Puma 260 CVXDrive. The Case IH/Aprilia collaboration will also be on display with a Puma 175 CVXDrive designed by Aprilia design and an Aprilia bike onsite. Tractor accessories will also be available with upgraded ranges in both the Case IH U loader and Farmlift telescopic handler lines for 2024.
A Holistic View for Precision Technology
Case IH’s is continuing to bring leading integrated technology solutions to producers for its combine and baler offerings at Agritechnica. The Axial-Flow 160 series, being introduced in Europe for the first time, provides a consistent, efficient harvest for all operator levels through integrated Harvest Command technology, while also offering increased throughput and capacity.
In addition to a number of baler product upgrades, Case IH is also introducing Baler Automation, which delivers next generation automation by optimizing large square balers to reduce costs and improve output. Case IH is also debuting a new Connect Room at Agritechnica to showcase a range of connected machines and services. Farmers can come to the Connect Room to learn how they can harness the power of data on their operation from new machines to mix fleets. Other precision technology highlighted at the show will include the new: Pro 1200 Dual Display and AFS Connect EasyLink.
Parts and Service
Agritechnica visitors can experience the Case IH commitment to sustainability through the Remanufactured parts process, which gives a second life to multiple components and saves up to 80 percent of the energy, water and new materials otherwise required to make them from scratch. New ecological packaging for lubricants, developed in collaboration with PETRONAS, includes the new Multi-traction Case IH Akcela ‘Bag in Box’, which cuts plastic use by up to 92%, uses 100% recyclable cardboard box and reduces overall material use by up to 85%, when compared to traditional plastic bottles. The Genuine Parts cardboard packaging, supplied only by FSC-certified companies, uses ink without mineral oils for printing and plastic packaging with up to 30% recycled materials.
Financing
CNH Industrial Capital will also have offers available during Agritechnica:
- Agritechnica financing program with interest rate protection: With both interest rates and inflation continuing to rise in many European markets, the Agritechnica special financing package from CNH Industrial Capital, starting from 0.00% p.a., offers Case IH customers active inflation compensation. This includes interest rate protection until their machine is delivered, with the only requirement being that the purchase is completed and the financing or leasing contract is submitted, within the advertised promotional period.
- Capflex – the flexibel financing contract With extreme weather conditions and unforeseen factors potentially influencing the suitability of originally-agreed repayment plans, it can be advantageous to have the flexibility to, if necessary, suspend payments. However, if the economic situation is better than expected, it can also be an advantage to repay the loan instalment plan quicker. As an industry specialist, CNH Industrial Capital has developed CAPFLEX, a solution that provides agricultural businesses with security and flexibility in both circumstances, enabling customers to easily and efficiently change instalment plans, CAPFLEX is available to customers who subscribe to financing contracts with terms between 24 and 84 months via the Case IH dealer network. The CAPFLEX option has been also available for finance leasing contracts since June 2023.
“The future of our industry is coming fast,” added Romagnoli. “It is up to us to build a strong foundation of services, products and technology so that farmers have the tools and resources necessary to tackle tomorrow’s problems, today.”
