CNH Industrial N.V.

CNH announced it will begin releasing software updates in the fourth quarter of 2026 to align with updated U.S. Environmental Protection Agency guidance on emissions-system fault inducement timing. The updates give customers more time to plan and complete repairs before certain engine derates are triggered, helping reduce avoidable downtime during critical operating periods. The initial rollout will prioritize high-horsepower agricultural equipment, with additional product families added throughout 2027. Customers with a CNH Electronic Service Tool subscription will be able to perform the update themselves, while dealers can also support installation remotely or on site. Scott Harris, President North America at CNH, said customers need solutions that help them stay productive, especially during seasonally critical windows.

The global agriculture tractor market is projected to grow from 2,097,363 units in 2025 to 2,614,170 units by 2031, a compound annual growth rate of 3.74%, according to a new ResearchAndMarkets.com report. Growth is being driven by farm mechanization, precision agriculture, and rising investment in autonomous, semi-autonomous and connected tractors, with GPS-RTK positioning, computer vision, sensors and artificial intelligence enabling more accurate planting, tillage and spraying. Tractors below 50 HP accounted for approximately 59% of the global market in 2025, while 2-wheel-drive models held the largest share by drive type and are forecast to record a CAGR of 3.76%. Asia-Pacific was the largest regional market by unit sales in 2025 and is expected to remain the demand leader, led by India and China; in India, the Goods and Services Tax on tractors was cut from 12% to 5%, while China continues to encourage replacement of older machinery with higher-horsepower equipment. North American performance was mixed in 2025, with U.S. demand hurt by high interest rates, elevated input costs, lower commodity prices and trade uncertainty, while Canada recorded comparatively stronger conditions. The market remains highly concentrated, with CNH Industrial advancing autonomous and connected technologies across Case IH, New Holland and Steyr, and John Deere and AGCO continuing to develop autonomous tractor capabilities.

Deere & Co. narrowed its annual profit outlook as a stabilizing agriculture sector points to a more pronounced rebound next year for farm machinery.

Chief Executive Officer John May said 2026 will mark the bottom of the current ag equipment cycle, citing early order program trends, improving used-equipment inventories, and increasing customer adoption of advanced technologies. The outlook follows mixed signals from rivals, with CNH Industrial raising its annual outlook and AGCO trimming its estimates.

CNH Industrial's latest feature in its A Sustainable Year series highlights how Moreland Farms, a fourth-generation operation in Oklahoma and Southern Kansas, uses Case IH precision technology to turn operational data into better field decisions. The farm employs Case IH FieldOps, AIM Command FLEX II, and AccuSync to connect machines, improve spraying accuracy, and coordinate multiple machines in the same field, reducing overlap and missed rows. Farmer Matt Moreland says the technology has allowed the family to learn from year-over-year harvest insights and optimize nitrogen applications, making them better stewards of the land. The story is part of CNH's broader effort to show how advanced technology can improve efficiency and support more responsible land management.
