Precise Implement Control Available Spring 2025

Case IH’s Active Implement Guidance is available for Spring 2025.

Designed to enhance implement precision, this system allows farmers to control the exact positioning of their implements using the same guidance lines as the tractor.

Kendal Quandahl, precision segment lead with Case IH, recently met with Farms.com to discuss this technology.

By ensuring that implements track precisely behind the planter, it creates seamless and consistent guidance management throughout the season, says Quandahl.

This technology provides farmers with improved accuracy, reducing overlap and ensuring each pass follows the same guidance line. With better alignment between the tractor and implement, farmers can optimize efficiency, reduce input waste, and achieve better yield results.

The consistency in tracking also minimizes errors, leading to improved crop placement and long-term soil health.

One of the biggest advantages of Active Implement Guidance is its ability to simplify field operations.

By automating implement tracking, farmers can focus on other crucial aspects of farm management. Whether it's planting, tilling, or harvesting, maintaining a precise path improves operational effectiveness and reduces unnecessary manual adjustments.

Farmers looking to adopt this technology can contact their local Case IH dealership or visit the website for more details.

Orders for the Spring 2025 season are now open, making it the perfect time for farmers to upgrade their operations with precision farming solutions.
