Case IH is announcing new precision tech offerings that not only help limit the physical wear and tear of manual, in-field corrections but also offer greater accuracy, consistency, and data insights to streamline operations.
For Model Year 2025, Soil Command will be factory-fitted on select sizes of Case IH Speed-Tiller 475 and VT-Flex 435 tillage equipment and work on any ISO-compatible tractor that is equipped to handle hydraulic needs. Additionally, with the launch of Case IH Active Implement Guidance, farmers now have access to an easy-to-use, plug-and-play system to correct implement drift while navigating planting, tillage and side-dressing.
These latest offerings are tailored to not only meet the precise demands of an operation, but the preference of the farmer.
“Technology is about more than data; it should also make farmers’ lives easier,” said Kendal Quandahl, precision technology segment lead at Case IH. “Whether it’s fewer in-and-out cab trips to adjust tillage machinery or taking soil management to the next level with prescription tillage, we are providing flexible technology solutions to meet the individual needs of farmers and their agronomic goals.”
Soil Command Simplifies In-Field Adjustments, Addresses Soil Concerns
Soil Command delivers flexible tillage solutions with on-the-go, in-cab, single-button controls to manage depth, track corrections and lift to full transportation height, reducing physical stress and time lost making manual tillage adjustments. Additionally, Soil Command offers customizable presets to deliver consistency within a tillage program, helping farmers achieve their preferred soil health goals.
“Soil Command is purposefully designed to simplify adjustments and increase peak performance, which is why it’s a great addition to the Speed-Tiller 475 and VT-Flex 435,” said Ken Lehmann, crop production segment lead at Case IH. “Regardless of operator skill level, farmers can have confidence that their tillage program will run accurately and efficiently to address any soil concerns, such as compaction, large clod sizing or erosion.”
Soil Command adoption is interoperable as well as scalable, from basic functionality and compatibility with an existing fleet to upgrading one’s tillage program to user-defined prescription tillage.
Case IH Active Implement Guidance Improves Accuracy, Yield Potential
As part of its expanded offering of accessible, easy-to-use technology solutions – both built-in and aftermarket – Case IH now offers Active Implement Guidance.
Case IH Active Implement Guidance is a plug-and-play solution that significantly reduces or eliminates implement drift, enhancing yield potential while protecting against crop damage and operator stress. The system ensures implement accuracy in a wide variety of field conditions and operating environments.
The implement guidance system shares guidance line data between the implement and the tractor, ensuring planting, strip-till, side-dress and specialty windrow applications, such as potato production, are executed with precision. The system was purposefully designed to be plug-and-play, with a simple single-display set up that is compatible with select Case IH Early Riser Planters and select 3rd party applications.
