AGCO to Showcase Advanced Innovations at 2026 Commodity Classic
AGCO Corporation, a global leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of agricultural machinery and precision agriculture technology, is set to present an expansive lineup of innovations at the 2026 Commodity Classic, taking place in San Antonio, Texas, from February 25–27. With more than 24,000 square feet of combined exhibit space, AGCO will spotlight its leading brands — Fendt, Massey Ferguson and PTx — delivering a comprehensive look at the latest precision agriculture equipment, retrofit innovations and advanced autonomy solutions designed to help farmers increase productivity, efficiency and profitability.
The Commodity Classic provides AGCO with a powerful platform to connect directly with professional growers from across North America. Throughout the three-day event, farmers will have opportunities to interact with product experts, explore hands-on demonstrations and discover how integrated, farmer-focused technologies can support their operations throughout 2026 and beyond.
According to Mike Long, AGCO Vice President of Marketing, the event offers an ideal environment to engage with producers who are actively seeking advanced solutions to optimize their operations. By bringing together cutting-edge equipment, intelligent retrofit technologies and next-generation autonomous capabilities, AGCO aims to address real-world farming challenges while driving measurable performance gains.
Fendt: Advancing Power, Precision and Autonomy
At booth 1181, Fendt will showcase its newest advancements in power, precision farming and autonomous solutions. The exhibit will debut the all-new Fendt 500 Vario® Series, engineered to combine compact dimensions with impressive performance capabilities. Designed for versatility across diverse farming applications, the series integrates the FendtONE™ platform and advanced smart farming tools, offering seamless connectivity between in-cab and off-board operations.
Fendt will also feature the Fendt 800 Vario Gen5, which redefines operator productivity and comfort. The tractor introduces premium comfort enhancements, including a massage seat and UltraVision LED lighting system, while maintaining exceptional maneuverability and fuel efficiency. These innovations are designed to reduce operator fatigue and maximize field performance during extended work hours.
One of the most forward-looking displays will be the Fendt 1000 Vario Gen4 tractor equipped with PTx Trimble™ OutRun™ grain cart and tillage solutions. This combination demonstrates fully autonomous field operations, providing farmers with retrofit autonomy systems that enhance efficiency without requiring entirely new machinery investments. By integrating autonomy with proven performance platforms, Fendt is illustrating how the future of farming can be both innovative and practical.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to preview enhancements to the Fendt IDEAL® combine, including updates to cleaning performance systems and automation features. These improvements are aimed at optimizing grain quality, throughput and operational efficiency during harvest season.
Massey Ferguson: Practical Performance Meets Intuitive Technology
At booths 781 and 1081, Massey Ferguson will emphasize dependable and straightforward equipment, now enhanced with intuitive, field-proven technology solutions. The brand continues to focus on delivering reliable performance while integrating advanced digital tools that simplify complex operations.
Key highlights will include the MF 9S tractor, paired with the 500R sprayer and planter system. Together, these machines demonstrate Massey Ferguson’s commitment to delivering high-performance equipment suitable for a wide range of farming operations. Designed with operator simplicity in mind, the equipment integrates advanced solutions such as Tractor Implement Management (TIM) and PTx FarmEngage™ to enable smarter implement control and streamlined farm management.
Massey Ferguson will also introduce MF Always Running, a built-in warranty program structured to provide predictable ownership costs, reduce operational risk and maximize equipment uptime. In today’s farming environment, where margins are tight and timing is critical, programs that enhance reliability and minimize downtime can significantly impact profitability.
Through its exhibit, Massey Ferguson aims to show how combining durable engineering with practical technology can help farmers manage risk, improve operational flow and maintain consistent productivity across planting, spraying and harvesting cycles.
PTx: Precision Agriculture and Retrofit Autonomy
The PTx exhibit at booth 1681 will highlight innovations from both the Precision Planting® and PTx Trimble brands. This area will focus on solutions that enhance seed placement accuracy, spraying precision and retrofit autonomy capabilities.
Among the featured products are new innovations introduced at the recent Winter Conference, including Precision Planting ArrowTube™, a seed orientation device designed to improve seed placement consistency. By optimizing how seeds are positioned within the furrow, ArrowTube supports more uniform emergence and improved yield potential.
Another highlight is Precision Planting SymphonyVision™ | Duo, an intelligent spraying system that allows both broadcast and targeted spray applications within a single pass. This technology enables growers to apply inputs more efficiently, potentially reducing chemical use while maintaining effective crop protection.
Also on display will be PTx Trimble OutRun, a retrofit autonomy solution engineered to enhance field efficiency by enabling autonomous grain cart and tillage operations. Retrofit autonomy allows farmers to upgrade existing equipment rather than replacing entire fleets, offering a cost-effective pathway to modernized operations.
Throughout the exhibit, PTx experts will be available for consultative discussions with growers. These conversations will focus on identifying opportunities for yield improvement, economic gains and operational efficiencies tailored to individual farm needs in 2026.
Integrated Solutions for Modern Farming
Across all three brand exhibits, AGCO is presenting a unified message: innovation should serve the real-world needs of farmers. Whether through advanced tractors, intelligent spraying systems, precision planting technologies or retrofit autonomy solutions, the company is emphasizing practical applications that drive measurable outcomes.
The more than 24,000 square feet of exhibit space reflects AGCO’s commitment to showcasing a comprehensive ecosystem of solutions rather than standalone products. By connecting equipment platforms with digital tools and autonomy systems, the company is demonstrating how integrated technologies can streamline operations across planting, growing and harvesting phases.
Commodity Classic attendees will have the opportunity to explore how precision agriculture, connectivity and autonomy can work together to increase operational visibility, reduce input waste and improve overall farm profitability.
