New Holland updates CX, CH and TC combines for 2026

New Holland has announced updates for 2026 to its CX, CH and TC combine harvesters with a hoe. The aim is to facilitate preparation and increase productivity during harvest.

Varifeed headers feature a new design with 'Natural Flow' style side panels. All versions feature 575 mm of knife advance and retraction to better adapt to high volume crops. A new linear knife drive replaces the old belt system. The transmission now uses gears and a telescopic shaft.

The 10,5 m and 12,5 m versions of the header now feature a synchronized double knife, reducing vibration. The knife speed has increased by 11%, reaching 735 rpm. A new reinforced 660 mm auger improves feeding. The auger height adjustment, now with two pre-defined positions, reduces the time for changing between crops by 75%.

All headers now have a single PTO connection and a new “click-on” aluminum side knife that can be installed or removed in five minutes. Adjustable-gauge wheels are now hydraulically operated from the cab.

In the CX series, the UltraFlow rotor, previously exclusive to the CX6, will be optional on the CX5. According to the company, the stepped rotor improves separation and reduces fuel consumption by up to 10%. The CX5/6 and CH7 series gain remote screen adjustments and synchronized pre-screen, as well as a new lever to facilitate rear adjustment.

Hillside models receive sensors to control the driven rear axle and detect changes in slope. On harvesters with remote straw spreaders and deflectors, the system now prevents build-up and clogging by automatically repositioning the deflectors when threshing is disengaged. A rear-view camera is now standard.

The TC line, produced in Poland and Brazil, also receives Smart Sieve and rear drive axle options for the TC5 models.
