In the November 2026 issue of Macchine Trattori, all the latest developments, technologies and insights dedicated to the agricultural mechanization sector. Tractors, agricultural machinery, engines and innovations for farming: an up-to-date overview of the industry’s main new developments.
Cover story
McCormick expands its high-power tractor range with the new X7.627 Vt-Drive, featured in the cover story of Macchine Trattori. A tractor that represents a significant evolution of the X7.6 Vt-Drive series, introducing a renewed family look, more modern styling and upgraded technical features.
With a maximum output of 271 hp, a 2,940 mm wheelbase and a weight of 9,600 kg, the new X7.627 Vt-Drive sits at the top of its family, serving as an ideal bridge between the existing X7.6 models and the flagship X8 Vt-Drive range. An evolution designed to combine performance, structural strength and technology, further strengthening McCormick’s position in the high-power open-field tractor segment.
Tractor
Caron expands and updates its transporter range with two new models unveiled at Eima 2026. The first is the new Ar/St 760 Evo5, joining the established 790 Evo5 at the top end of the articulated and steerable vehicle range. The two-seater transporters in the C-M series have also been updated, introducing independent mechanical suspension and the option of four-wheel steering to improve maneuverability and comfort.
Claas expands its medium-power tractor offering with the new Arion 5 Cmatic series, presented for the first time in Italy at Eima 2026. The range comprises three models with outputs of 145, 165 and 180 hp, all equipped with the Cmatic continuously variable transmission, originally developed by Claas.
Kubota expands its offering in the low- and medium-power segments, adding Farmtrac tractors to its Japanese-built range. Farmtrac is a brand associated with India’s Escort Limited group. The lineup includes the compact Bx261, B2-261 and Ek1-261, all rated at 26 hp, as well as the larger Lx-401 and L2-622, delivering 40 and 62 hp, respectively.
Steyr returns to the specialist tractor segment with the new Spezial F CVT series, comprising the 4100, 4110 and 4120 models, with maximum outputs of 100, 110 and 120 hp. A key feature of the new range is the S-Control continuously variable transmission, developed by CNH. It combines hydrostatic and mechanical power paths to optimize efficiency under different operating conditions and reduce fuel consumption.
Telehandlers
Merlo expands the technological features of its telehandlers with the patented Bsi (Boom Soft Impact) system, unveiled at Eima 2026 and recognized as a technical innovation. This electrohydraulic solution is designed to absorb and dampen frontal impacts that may occur during excavation, bulk material handling and snow removal operations.
Weidemann completely renews its wheel loader range in the four- and five-tonne capacity classes, introducing four new models: 2090, 2090T, 3090 and 3090T, available with either a fixed or telescopic boom. Lifting capacities exceed 3.9 and 5.5 tonnes, respectively, while working heights reach almost five metres.
Equipment
Horsch makes its debut at Eima with eight machines dedicated to soil cultivation, seeding and crop protection. Highlights include the Versa 3 Ex, Avatar 6 Sl and Maestro 12 Rx seed drills, alongside the Partner 2000 Ft front hopper. Also showcased are the latest developments in HorschConnect and Horsch Intelligence digital technologies.
Krone updates its Gx transport wagon and Mx, Rx and Zx forage wagon ranges, introducing technical and functional improvements. The Gx models are available with capacities of 36, 44 and 52 cubic metres, while the forage wagons reach up to 56 cubic metres.
Kuhn presents the new Apex 6000 Rc and 8000 Rc seed drills, with working widths of six and eight metres, designed for direct drilling and minimum tillage. The 5,600-litre pressurised dual hoppers and new Optiseed metering units ensure accurate seed distribution, versatility and productivity at speeds of up to 12 km/h.
The new generation of Kverneland Variomat ploughs introduces the Auto-Line system, which automatically maintains an optimal line of draft, reducing fuel consumption and stress on the machine. Other features include a shear bolt with a breaking load of five tonnes, conversion between on-land and in-furrow ploughing, and the Tts transport system.
Rinieri expands its product range with Crx pruning machines, featuring a toothed bar for trimming the sides of hedgerows and a disc topper for vertical canopy control. Other new developments include the five-rotor Ghibli pneumatic leaf removers and further improvements to the Bio-Dynamic tool carriers.
The new Seppi F50 Turbo forestry mulcher operates with tractors ranging from 200 to 360 hp and working widths from 210 to 260 cm, handling woody material up to 50 cm in diameter. Key innovations include the M-Turbo hydrodynamic starting system and the Adam device, which keeps the machine aligned with changes in ground conditions.
Components and Engines
At Eima 2026, ADR showcased the latest developments in its Alpha and Aris suspension systems, designed to increase the load capacity, reliability and stability of agricultural trailers. Other innovations include the Alpha Zero suspension, which eliminates conventional lubrication points, and the Optimus Steering steering axle, developed to improve manoeuvrability and trailer handling.
FPT expands its offering for off-road applications with the new Industrial Power Units based on the F36 and N45 engines. These are pre-assembled and validated packages that integrate the main auxiliary components with the engine, simplifying installation on machinery while reducing development times and costs. Both units feature electronic Common Rail injection systems, together with turbocharging and after-treatment solutions designed to limit fuel consumption and emissions. The Compact Hi-eSCR2 system ensures compliance with Stage V and Tier 4 Final regulations.
The 2027 version of Yanmar‘s 4Tn101 Fdt four-cylinder engine focuses on installation flexibility, offering compatibility with both 12- and 24-volt electrical systems and the option of remotely positioning the exhaust after-treatment system (ATD). Maximum torque of 455 Nm is available from just 1,000 rpm, highlighting the engine’s high torque flexibility. According to Yanmar, the combustion technology adopted also reduces fuel consumption by approximately 10% compared with comparable engines.
