Case IH announced new precision tech offerings that may not only help limit the physical wear and tear of manual, in-field corrections but also offer more accuracy, consistency, and data insights to streamline operations.For model year 2025, Soil Command will be factory-fitted on select sizes of Case IH Speed-Tiller 475 and VT-Flex 435 tillage equipment and work on any ISO-compatible tractor equipped to handle hydraulic needs. Additionally, with the launch of Case IH Active Implement Guidance, farmers now have access to a plug-and-play system to correct implement drift while navigating planting, tillage, and side-dressing.

“Technology is about more than data; it should also make farmers’ lives easier,” says Kendal Quandahl, precision technology segment lead at Case IH. “Whether it’s fewer in-and-out cab trips to adjust tillage machinery or taking soil management to the next level with prescription tillage, we are providing flexible technology solutions to meet the individual needs of farmers and their agronomic goals.”

Soil Command delivers flexible tillage solutions with in-cab, single-button controls to manage depth, track corrections, and lift to full transportation height — reducing physical stress and time lost making manual adjustments. Additionally, it offers customizable presets to deliver consistency within a tillage program, helping farmers achieve soil health goals.

“Soil Command is purposefully designed to simplify adjustments and increase peak performance, which is why it’s a great addition to the Speed-Tiller 475 and VT-Flex 435,” says Ken Lehmann, crop production segment lead at Case IH.

“Regardless of operator skill level, farmers can have confidence that their tillage program will run accurately and efficiently to address any soil concerns, such as compaction, large clod sizing, or erosion.”

Case IH Active Implement Guidance is a plug-and-play solution that reduces or eliminates implement drift, increasing yield potential while protecting against crop damage and operator stress. The system ensures implement accuracy in a variety of field conditions and operating environments.

The implement guidance system shares guidance line data between the implement and the tractor, ensuring planting, strip-till, side-dress and specialty windrow applications — such as potato production — are executed with precision. The system was designed with a simple single-display setup that is compatible with select Case IH Early Riser Planters and select third-party applications.

The new technology solutions will be on display at this year’s Farm Progress Show. Learn more at caseih.com or contact your local Case IH dealer.
