New Holland, Turin based agricultural equipment brand, has launched a redesigned range of self propelled sprayers for the 2026 season, aligning the update with the operational demands of large scale arable farming and professional crop protection. The new machines combine expanded working capacity with updated driveline systems, revised boom architecture and integrated digital controls, with the stated objective of supporting higher daily output, accurate application and reduced operator fatigue across extended spraying operations.
Expanded capacity and revised machine architecture
The new sprayer lineup consists of two configurations designed to cover a wider range of operational requirements. The smaller model continues with a 2,500 litre tank, while the larger variant increases tank capacity to 4,000 litres, a change aimed at reducing refill intervals and improving overall work rates during long spraying days. Both machines are powered by six cylinder FPT NEF 6.7 litre engines, producing 215 hp and 272 hp respectively, and are supported by a 450 litre fuel tank to extend operating autonomy in the field.
Alongside capacity increases, New Holland has reworked the machine layout to improve access and usability. A redesigned rear bonnet with gas strut assistance allows easier access for routine engine servicing and radiator cleaning. Foldable access steps and an extended service platform improve entry to the cab and access to the fuel tank, while also reducing the likelihood of crop contact when operating in taller crops later in the season.
Driveline configuration focused on traction and operating speed
At the core of the updated sprayer is a new transmission layout featuring independent wheel motors. This configuration enables individual traction control at each wheel, supporting transport speeds of up to 48 km/h and working speeds of up to 30 km/h. The system is designed to maintain stability and traction on slopes of up to 30 percent, expanding the range of field conditions in which the sprayers can operate.
An integrated Eco Mode automatically manages engine speed based on load requirements, allowing fuel consumption to be moderated without affecting spraying performance. This approach is intended to balance productivity with operating efficiency during extended spraying operations.
Stainless steel booms and automated height regulation
All spray booms in the revised range are now manufactured from stainless steel, improving resistance to corrosion and extending service life under intensive chemical application conditions. Structural updates to the boom enhance stiffness at the nozzle mounting points, helping maintain consistent nozzle angles and spray distribution during operation. Integrated fence nozzles and end of bar valves are incorporated to simplify cleaning and routine maintenance.
Boom height is managed through an automatic control system that uses multiple sensors distributed along the boom. These sensors simultaneously measure distance from both soil surface and crop canopy, allowing more accurate height regulation and helping maintain consistent spray patterns across uneven terrain and varying crop heights.

Cab environment and control integration
Operator comfort and control have been addressed through updates to the cab and user interface. The pressurised cab is equipped with an activated carbon filtration system and offers increased internal space compared to previous generations. A newly designed multifunction control lever brings propulsion, speed management and spraying functions into a single control point, reducing the need for repeated hand movements during long operating periods.
Machine and application management are handled through an updated 12 inch display. The revised interface, supported by higher processing capacity, integrates spraying functions, machine settings and connectivity features, allowing operators to manage application tasks with greater precision from the cab.
Application control and digital platform integration
Spraying performance is supported by pulse width modulation technology with nozzle to nozzle control, regulating flow and pressure at each nozzle to maintain consistent droplet size and application rates across the full boom width. Boom recirculation is integrated to keep the spray mixture uniform during pauses, reducing the risk of sediment build up and nozzle blockages.
An optional direct injection system allows plant protection products to be mixed at the boom rather than in the main tank. This enables variable rate and zone specific application while avoiding contamination of the primary tank, offering additional flexibility for complex spraying programmes.
Connectivity is provided through on board telemetry linked to the FieldOps digital platform. This connection enables real time machine monitoring, agronomic data tracking and fleet oversight through a single digital interface, supporting operational planning and documentation.
According to the New Holland, the new self propelled sprayer series is scheduled to be available in Ukraine and Moldova from early 2026, aligning the launch with the upcoming spraying season in those markets.
