New Holland Increases Sprayer Productivity & Application Precision

Large-scale arable farming and professional crop protection demand high daily output, precise application and reduced operator fatigue. To address these requirements, New Holland has introduced a redesigned range of self-propelled sprayers for the 2026 season, expanding working capacity while integrating new driveline, spraying and digital control technologies.

Higher capacity and improved machine access
The updated sprayer range includes two models covering a broader operational spectrum. While the smaller configuration retains a 2,500-litre tank, the larger model increases capacity to 4,000 litres, reducing refill frequency and improving daily workrates. Power is provided by six-cylinder FPT NEF 6.7-litre engines delivering 215 hp and 272 hp respectively, paired with a 450-litre fuel tank for extended operating autonomy.

Machine layout revisions focus on serviceability and field usability. A redesigned rear bonnet with gas-strut support improves access for engine maintenance and radiator cleaning. Foldable access steps and an extended platform facilitate cab entry and fuel-tank access while reducing the risk of crop damage during late-season operation.

Driveline redesign for speed and slope capability
A new transmission architecture with independent wheel motors provides individual traction control at each wheel. This enables transport speeds of up to 48 km/h and working speeds up to 30 km/h, while supporting operation on gradients of up to 30 percent. An integrated Eco Mode automatically adjusts engine speed to match load demand, reducing fuel consumption without compromising spraying performance.

Boom durability and application stability
All spray booms are now manufactured from stainless steel to improve corrosion resistance and extend service life. The revised boom structure enhances nozzle mounting stiffness and maintains consistent nozzle angles during operation. Integrated fence nozzles and end-of-bar valves simplify cleaning and maintenance tasks.

Automatic boom height control uses multiple sensors distributed along the boom to simultaneously measure soil and crop canopy distance, improving height regulation and spray pattern consistency across varying field conditions.

Operator-centred cab and control environment
The pressurized cab features an activated-carbon filtration system and increased internal space. A redesigned multifunction control lever consolidates propulsion, speed selection and spraying functions into a single interface, reducing hand movement and operator workload during long shifts.

An updated 12-inch display manages application systems, machine functions and connectivity features through a revised interface with higher processing capacity, supporting precise control of spraying operations.

Precision spraying and digital connectivity
Pulse-width modulation technology with nozzle-to-nozzle control regulates flow and pressure at each nozzle, ensuring consistent droplet size and application rate across the boom. Integrated boom recirculation maintains a homogeneous spray mixture during pauses, reducing sediment build-up and nozzle blockage risk. Optional direct injection allows plant protection products to be mixed directly at the boom, enabling variable-rate and regionalized application without contaminating the main tank.

On-board telemetry connects the sprayer to the FieldOps digital platform, enabling real-time machine monitoring, agronomic data tracking and fleet management from a single interface.

Availability
The new sprayer series is scheduled to be available in Ukraine and Moldova from early 2026.
