As one of the world's largest suppliers of replacement solutions, ZF Aftermarket is participating in Agrishow 2026 and reinforcing its strategic role in high productivity in the field. Through the availability and reliability of its replacement parts, the company enables the longevity of agricultural equipment and optimizes field operations (uptime). In a scenario of increasing modernization in the sector, ZF Aftermarket is bringing to the fair a complete portfolio of components applied to axles, transmissions, and solutions for equipment from major manufacturers in the sector. 

Among the highlights of ZF Aftermarket is the launch of clutches for agricultural tractors, consisting of a cerametallic disc for severe operations or an organic disc for greater operational comfort, bearing and pressure plate (lever and diaphragm spring). The solution expands coverage for Massey, Valtra and CNH tractors, reinforcing robustness and thermal resistance.

“These two new product families are part of the portfolio for the agricultural segment, which should expand even further in the coming months. This strategy reinforces our positioning as an ideal partner for agribusiness here in South America,” emphasizes Luis Guena, Head of Sales for the Industrial segment at ZF Aftermarket South America. 

Another innovation is the new hydraulic pump applied to Valtra, Valmet, CNH and Massey tractors, developed to meet the demands of steering systems, load lifting and equipment operation, ensuring high volumetric efficiency and continuous performance under high loads. 

During Agrishow, ZF Aftermarket will also demonstrate various components available for the APL, AS, and TSA axle families for agricultural applications, as well as the MT-L, used in construction machinery, including roller bearings for planetary gear sets, planetary gears, sun shafts, planetary carriers, crown and pinion gears, steering rods, seals, hubs, and combination rings. These items are responsible for multiplying and transmitting torque in severe applications such as soil preparation, spraying, and transport, directly impacting the durability and energy efficiency of the equipment. 

TSA 09 axle and Ergopower transmission 

In addition to innovations and digital solutions focused on managing and monitoring operations, the company will also bring to the event renowned products from automakers, developed to enhance the robustness and efficiency of machinery in the field and in construction. 

The TSA 09 axle will be on display at the company's booth. Suitable for tractors up to 90 horsepower, the component was developed at ZF's Sorocaba (SP) plant, where the company's Global Competence Center for agricultural axles is located. Designed for applications requiring higher torque and robustness, the model features a specific crown and pinion ratio that favors operations in severe conditions, such as flooded areas. The ZF TSA axle family is the broadest in the portfolio and can reach up to 175 hp. 

Recognized in the market for its modular design, comfort, and robustness, the Ergopower, ZF's powershift transmission, will also be on display, reinforcing solutions for application in construction machinery. In this segment, ZF is also one of the world's largest suppliers and is present in several automakers. In the aftermarket, the company continues to expand its portfolio, including parts for the Ergopower. 

Commitment to sustainable mobility 

Participation in Agrishow 2026 will also include an activation aimed at children, with the launch of the character Zeca, part of "ZF Friends," an initiative by the company that addresses topics related to ZF's areas of operation such as safety, transportation, and the environment, in a playful way, connecting innovation, education, and social responsibility. 

Through the "Little Friends" initiative, ZF Aftermarket reinforces the importance of raising awareness among children and families in rural areas from an early age about sustainability, safety, and basic care for machinery and vehicles, encouraging them to recognize the value of maintenance, parts quality, and the use of technologies for the safety of agricultural operations. The company will distribute exclusive gifts featuring the new character to families who visit its booth. 

Market in transformation 

This focus on the care and responsible use of machinery becomes even more relevant given the current situation in the agribusiness sector. The Brazilian agricultural machinery market ended 2025 maintaining a level of approximately 48,9 units sold, according to a report released by Anfavea. 

In this scenario of stability after a period of contraction, the sector has entered a phase of stability, which increases the importance of strategies focused on the longevity and good performance of equipment. In this context, preventive maintenance and the use of parts with appropriate specifications become paramount, fundamental to ensuring operational availability during the harvest season and preserving the investment throughout the life cycle of the machines. 

“The aftermarket plays an increasingly strategic role in Brazilian agribusiness. During critical periods such as harvest time, machine availability depends directly on the quality and correct specification of replacement parts. Using appropriate components and having confidence in these moments helps to avoid unplanned downtime, increase operational efficiency, and protect an essential asset for the rural producer – this is what we call uptime in agriculture,” says Luis Guena. 

“As agriculture becomes increasingly connected and performance-driven, our role is to translate our global industrial expertise into scalable aftermarket solutions that support customers throughout the entire machinery lifecycle — across different regions, applications, and technologies. Agrishow is not only a fundamental event for South American agribusiness, but also an important platform to demonstrate how our global industrial portfolio enables productivity, reliability, and long-term value in agriculture worldwide,” comments Marco Neubold, Global Head of Industrial Business at ZF Aftermarket.
