More power, precision come to tractors

<p><strong>STEIGER SERIES ALL ABOUT CONNECTIVITY:</strong> Spokespeople point first to the new AFS Connect farm management portal when you ask about the new Steiger series tractors. A new operating system and receiver, paired with a five-year subscription to AFS Connect, lets information flow to and from your tractor cab like never before. The new AFS 1200 display is easy to see day or night. For example, you can receive system updates from your dealer wirelessly without hauling the tractor to the dealership. The cab is redesigned for comfort. Models range from 370 to 6209 hp. Visit <a href="http://www.caseih.com" target="_blank">caseih.com</a><em>.</em></p>

<p><strong>BEAUTY INSIDE THE CAB:</strong> The most advanced feature of the Fendt 700 Gen6 Series of tractors is inside the cab. Fendt chose to introduce the new operator interface on the 700 Gen6 Series. The operator station is completely redesigned, with up to three large, easy-to-read screens displaying various information, providing a streamlined work environment. The redesign provides features you would expect in a high-end pickup truck, only with more technology features for precision farming. There are six models from 144 to 237 engine hp in this series.
