Amid a wealth of new products, several manufacturers chose the opening day of EIMA International to unveil their latest innovations.
Among them was Faresin, which, alongside its new FS 8.50 telehandler with an 8.5-metre boom, gave the Eramix its world premiere. This fully electric, autonomous feed mixer wagon has a capacity of 9 m³. Equipped with two vertical augers, it combines autonomous operation, precision feeding and electrification. According to the Vicenza-based manufacturer, once fully operational it can halve farm operating costs. Investment in the Eramix platform, which will become available in the second half of 2027, exceeds €10 million. The manufacturer believes the machine has the potential to become a benchmark for large livestock farms.
Turning to Case IH, the CNH Industrial brand is introducing its new Axial-Flow 160 combine harvester series, featuring a suite of onboard technologies for greater automation, connectivity and precision farming capabilities. The updated Axial-Flow 160 is equipped with dual Pro 1200 displays for advanced diagnostics and Integrated Harvest Command combine automation technology, together with AccuGuide automatic guidance and real-time yield monitoring. Case IH is also unveiling the Puma 185 tractor with an ActiveDrive 8 transmission and, further up the power range, the Optum 440 with the new Advanced Vehicle Suspension system, a technology recognised in EIMA International’s Technical Innovation Competition.
CLAAS also has new products on show, using EIMA 2026 to launch the new ARION 4 CMATIC compact tractor. As the German manufacturer explains, this agile, robust machine combines the CMATIC continuously variable transmission with technologies already used in the AXION series. The ARION 4 CMATIC offers a power range of 120–160 hp and, CLAAS stresses, is particularly well suited to front loader work, field operations and road transport.
