Farm4Profit Podcast · Harvest Automation - Is It Worth the Hype? · 20 Jul 2026 podcast

But for those who maybe had a combine model year 25 or newer that had, you know, the selector premium, we're working through those options to be able to add, you know, get it up to that ultimate.

Yeah.

25 or newer.

So I, you know, there's always possibilities on the horizon for different things working back pre-25.

I'll say model year 25 from a sort of processing capability, they really boosted, they added a lot of lanes to the highway in how that controller works.

Okay.

And so that and the electrical architecture, all really fun stuff.

I'm sure the listeners will just love to dive into.

But there's a lot of updates in 2025 that kind of is a clean break for now.

But as we add, what's nice is that new foundation means that in 27, we're launching automation features that'll be on your 25 combine, right?

And so you don't have to buy necessarily a 2027 combine to get 2027 technology features.

So we have a pre-season, pre-harvest software update that'll come out in the May-ish timeframe, trying to beat everyone to the early, early wheat.

And so we'll get that update out there and that'll have a lot of features.

It'll have all the new 2026 features, as well as any potential improvements in terms of sensitivity sliders and stuff that we've chatted about, but the little improvements to help the operator experience overall.

That's always good to be improving.

Is all this data being saved?

Not currently.

So I'll say what we are adding in is more what I'll call debug features, meaning if you're running into issues, it is able to package up those pictures or images and get a more comprehensive picture.

So then when you call the dealer and say, hey, something was up, something was funky here, you have that moment in time that they can upload and debug and work through that.

So we're constantly trying to work, you know, work through what can we add to, especially in the op center, right?
