NEW HOLLAND INTRODUCES CORNMASTER 9200 SERIES CORN HEADS

Feb 19, 2018

New Holland is pleased to introduce the all-new 9200 CornMaster Series of corn heads. Specifically developed for customers planting in row spacings of 20” and 22” and ranging from 12 row to 18 row units, these corn headers are designed to maximize combine productivity, improve overall combining efficiencies and maximize grain in the bin better than any other narrow row corn heads.

“When we set out to develop a new series of corn heads for New Holland Combines, we asked our customers what was most important for their total operations and not just for the corn heads”, said Dan Valen, Director of Marketing for New Holland. “What we heard back was customers really wanted to maximize their combining productivity overall while ensuring every possible kernel of corn ended up in the grain tank and not on the ground. And that’s what we delivered; More Total Combine Productivity, More Efficiency, More Grain in the Bin, and More Total Profit for our customer’s bottom line.”

Designed with a completely new row unit, the 9200 series picks cleaner to reduce the amount of MOG (Material Other than Grain) by up to 28,000 pounds per hour less than competitive row units attached to a New Holland Combine. Twenty-eight thousand fewer pounds per hour less MOG means increased ground speed and up to 25 fewer horsepower required to operate the header for more grain harvester per gallon of fuel vs competition. Separate drives for the row units and chopper also allows for increased reliability by allowing for optimal sizing of the drivelines and clutches.

Additional benefits of the 9200 CornMaster Corn Header include:

• Newly designed narrow row inner and outer hoods improve crop flow

• Double acting deck plates limits ear bounce and butt shelling for lower header losses

• Up to 110# less weight per row over other row units (up to 1,728 lb. on a 16 row machine) means lower ground compaction, more reactive header control, combine

The 9200 series CornMaster Corn Heads are available in 12, 16, and 18 row configurations in either 20” or 22” spacings.

Video: 2025 USDA December Crop Report a “Dud” + Trump $12 Billion U.S. Farm Aid

The USDA December crop report was friendly corn, neutral soybeans and bearish wheat. The USDA did surprise and increase the 25/26 U.S. corn export forecast to a new record high at 3.2 billion bushels now up 12% vs. last year vs. prior at +9% vs. the export pace to date up 30% the best in 10 years even higher than 20/21! The USDA left the 25/26 U.S. soybean export pace unchanged at 1.635 billion bushels. Higher global wheat supplies will remain a weight and headwind for wheat into year end and start of 2026.
Mexico is now the #1 buyer of U.S. corn, soybeans (usually China), wheat and pork!
USDA also released its long-term early projections but expect more changes by February of 2026.
Trump announces a $12 billion U.S. farmer aid package to be paid out by February 28, 2026. This helps no one but the ag banks, farm equipment companies, seed and fertilizer companies. It does prevent more farmer bushels from being sold near-term but is not bullish grain prices long-term. The Trump administration should focus on increasing U.S. domestic demand and propping up grain futures so farmers can cover their higher costs, up since COVID of 2020.
The China U.S. soybean purchase tracker now stands at 4.521 mmt or 38% of the 12 mmt promised by China at year end or is it end of February or the growing season? Why the discrepancy vs. the fact sheet. The optics are poor for the Trump administration.
After surging to contract highs U.S. natural gas futures plunged over 30+% in just 5-trading days!
Silver traded to new record highs as the debasement and de dollarization trade continued but technicals remain overbought near-term.
Soybean futures remained in correction mode after the funds went record long futures on Nov. 19 +233,000 contracts but the $10.80 support should hold into year end when the fund profit taking/liquidation comes to an end from the year end, end of month and end of quarter selling.
The U.S. Fed cut interest rates for the 3rd time by 25 basis points to a range of 3.50 – 3.75% and they will only cut one more time in 2026 and once in 20267/ but when Powell is gone next April the replacement is willing to cut more aggressively and we could see U.S. interest rates fall to 2.0% very bullish for ag and stocks as it could reignite inflation into 2027.
After 2 months of being drier than normal in Brazil the rains have finally arrived for the 1st half of December, and a record crop is still in the cards but if this pattern continues and verifies it could start to delay the harvest. Argentina after being too wet has turned dry but they are too small, compared top Brazil in the grand picture.
The Canadian dollar surged to $0.73 after better-than-expected employment data with 180,000 new jobs in the past 3-months and 3rd quarter GDP at +2.6% but this could be short-lived.
The latest CFTC report as of 11-19-2025 reported a record long fund position in soybeans at +233,000 contracts when 2026 March soybean futures peaked on 11-19-25 at $11.724/bu.
