Case IH Unveils New RB6 Round Balers & 2026 Square Baler Upgrades
Case IH has released details of its all-new round balers and redesigns to its large square balers aimed at increasing productivity.
Case IH, in relaunching the Farmall C, Farmall U and Farmall U Pro series, expects the iconic brand to reclaim its title as a heavyweight in utility tractors.
Farmall tractors appeared in 1923 and gained a name for reliability and versatility. Ninety years later comes their relaunch in an all-new lineup.
All three series feature the same brand new 3.4L electronically controlled, high-pressure common rail engine developed by sister company FPT (Fiat Powertrain Technologies).
Incorporating a wastegate turbocharger and intercooler, this responsive new engine has cooled exhaust gas recirculation (CEGR) which lowers the temperature of the exhaust gases, then blends them with fresh air and returns the mixture to the cylinder to maximise combustion efficiency.
The engine also features a new diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and maintenance-free particulate matter catalyst (PMC) technology, which automatically burns off particulates in the exhaust gases, ensuring the system remains clean and operates at peak efficiency. Much better fuel economy, less noise and vibration, greater pulling ability and a more constant power curve are the result.
The Farmall C four models span 85-115hp. Introduced as a replacement for the long-standing JXU series, this medium-duty workhorse is an all-rounder good for the tasks typically found on livestock farms.
It has ample manoeuvrability, good power-to-weight ratio, strong hydraulic performance and superb all-round vision.
The Farmall U series, also new, is ideal for heavier work such as ground cultivation.
The Farmall U is available in cab only configuration in 105hp and 115hp models. Cab and operator environment are noteworthy, the maker says.
For long working hours, the Farmall U has cab suspension as standard, a passenger seat and Bluetooth high performance stereo.
The Farmall U Pro, the premium model, has features normally found only on much larger machines, e.g. programmable automatic gearshift, electronic remote valves, an integrated joystick for front loader work and a four speed PTO.
The Farmall U Pro is an economical machine thanks to its numerous “big tractor” features like the 100L/min closed centre load sensing hydraulic system, which pumps oil only on demand.
