Mahindra plans new tractor lineup for North America after Mitsubishi joint venture ends
Mahindra Ag North America is rolling out a new tractor lineup after ending its joint venture with Mitsubishi, with models from 26 to 70 hp expected through 2027.
WHY IT MATTERS: Brandon-based Bushel Plus Ltd. unveiled their X9 split frames MAD concaves in January 2026. The technology promises to drastically cut the time for farmers to change concaves on their John Deere X9 combines.
The honour was presented by the show’s Innovator Recognition Program, highlighting technologies that “advance agriculture by improving efficiency, productivity and sustainability”.
The machinery allows growers with John Deere X9 series combines to drastically cut down the amount of time spent switching concaves when combining various crops. A structural split frame remains securely installed in the combine, while lightweight, crop-specific inserts can be quickly switched in and out. What used to take hours can be done in a matter of minutes.
Other benefits of using the system include lower grain loss, cleaner samples, improved efficiency and faster harvests, said Bushel Plus.
“Winning this award underscores the value of listening to farmers and turning real-world challenges into practical solutions. Working closely with our customers enables us to develop products that perform at the highest level, helping them capture more bushels and boost profitability.”

“It’s an exciting time for our company,” says Kringe. “This award celebrates our team’s dedication and the trust our customers place in us. As we continue to expand globally, we remain focused on delivering innovative products that perform in the field and help farmers glean greater profits by putting more bushels in the bin.”
