Are you planning to upgrade your farm equipment to higher-capacity machinery this year?
Strautmann will debut the Primus 900 self-propelled feed mixer at the EuroTier exhibition in November 2026. This new vehicle, aimed at large-scale and inter-farm operations, will feature capacities between 22 and 30m³.
Why it matters
The machine is engineered to improve efficiency for large agricultural businesses through advanced steering and intake technology. Its modular capacity and high-reach cutter are designed specifically to support intensive feeding schedules and varied ground conditions.
The Primus 900 series offers three models ranging from 22 to 30m³ in capacity, powered by a 280PS six-cylinder FPT engine. These specs support operations requiring forage processing at heights up to 5.70m and widths of 2.40m.
The players
Strautmann
An international manufacturer of agricultural machinery specializing in transport, feeding, and spreading equipment for professional farming.
The details
The unit employs a three-axle chassis paired with six-wheel steering to navigate difficult terrain while maintaining stability. Operators can manage feeding via the integrated Smart Feed Cab and Feed Control system, while the redesigned cutter head increases the machine's reach for large forage stocks. These features work together to minimize site maneuvering time for larger, high-volume farms.
Timeline
November 2026: Public unveiling of the Primus 900 at EuroTier.
2027: Pre-series Primus 900 models enter the market.
Q2 2028: Official series launch of the Primus 900.
Market Landscape
The introduction of the Primus 900 follows a broader industry shift toward increasing automation in self-propelled feeding equipment. This development marks a move toward integrating complex six-wheel steering and digital controls into standard large-scale agricultural hardware.
Operators managing large herds or inter-farm services should monitor the 2027 pre-series release to evaluate how the new chassis and steering system might reduce site maintenance and refueling intervals. Factor the 2028 launch date into your long-term capital equipment procurement and replacement cycles.
The takeaway
Large-scale feeding efficiency increasingly relies on specialized steering technology and modular capacity to handle diverse terrain and forage requirements. Monitor the upcoming 2027 pre-series performance data as a key benchmark for your next high-capacity machinery investment.
What happens next
Market participants should anticipate pre-series units arriving in 2027, followed by the full-scale commercial launch in the second quarter of 2028.
