Agrishow Special: New sugarcane harvester line will be launched by Case IH at Agrishow 2018

Case IH will take the main news from its product portfolio to Agrishow 2018, the largest agricultural fair in Latin America, which takes place between April 30th and May 4th, in Ribeirão Preto (SP). In addition to promoting the launches of the A8810 series of sugarcane harvesters, with single-row models and models for alternating double spacing, the brand will present its drone and a harvest manager.

Also highlighted in the 8.460 square meter space, located on Rua A, stand 10/11D, will be the entire line of Axia-Flow harvesters, tractors from the Farmall, Puma, Magnum and Steiger lines, as well as planters, precision agriculture solutions (AFS), among other equipment.

At the event, the brand will also announce its pilot autonomy program and new preventative maintenance plans. It will also be possible to purchase numbers to compete in the raffle for a Farmall 80 platform tractor, which was donated by the company to the Barretos Cancer Hospital. All funds raised will be donated to the medical institution.

Drone
With the aim of providing more quality and productivity in planting and harvesting, Case IH presents its drone. Using software technologies installed on the machine, it will be possible to analyze large and/or difficult-to-access areas; monitor vegetation health and identify pests and diseases; and have speed in the process of capturing and processing images and maps.

Patriot
The Patriot 350, Case IH's new sprayer, has been 100% renewed. The machine was designed to meet all rural producers’ needs. Therefore, the Patriot 350 has three bar size options, 27, 30 and 36 meters and, as standard, nine sections, which prevent application waste by up to 15% and cause less environmental impact.

Steiger
The Steiger tractor line is one of the strongest on the world market, produced to meet all the demands of the field. With tractors from 370 to 620 horsepower, the Steiger line was designed to provide maximum power for any type of activity, in addition to the hydraulic power demands of modern implements.

Autonomy
Diverse agricultural operations around the world require varying levels of automation. Using extensive customer-focused product design research, Case IH found that current and future technology needs fall into five automation categories for field agricultural applications. The categories and types of activity associated with each include: guidance, coordination and optimization, operator-assisted autonomy, supervised autonomy, and full autonomy.

Maintenance plan
The service aims to increase the availability and performance of machines. By paying a fixed monthly amount, the producer guarantees all preventive interventions on their equipment. The packages are programmed according to the needs and application of the machinery.

Coffee Harvest Manager
The device aims to assist the producer in managing mechanized harvesting. Using the information obtained by the tool, it will be possible to determine the ideal time to start harvesting in a given area, in addition to defining the most appropriate way to harvest – whether selectively or fully –, making the recommended adjustments for the Coffee harvester Case IH Express.
