All CNH air carts since 2001-2002 are a Flexi-Coil-whether they are painted red, blue, or gray. Look at most of the cast parts on any of these carts and you will see "Flexi-Coil" cast into them. Other than paint, the carts are pretty much all the same.

Now, as far as tillage is concerned, if you are talking about a 40' single-disc drill, you are talking about an SDX40. It traces its origins back to CaseIH/Concord which introduced the SDX30 back in 1998-99. The SDX40 was introduced in 2003 as a larger model.

If its a shank drill, it will be an ATX drill, which is largely based on the old Concord/CaseIH design before the CNH marriage. It will have tires for packer wheels. This drill was dropped recently from CaseIH in favor of the newly-released shank drill which is based on the Flexi-Coil "slim-fold" design from 4-5 years ago.

Flexi-Coil and New Holland still offer a shank drill that is more or less based on the Flexi-Coil 5000 series drills that have been around for many years.
