PUMA CVX increases Case IH’s CVT offering

The focal point of CASE IH stand will be the world premiere of new PUMA CVX. The new range has been developed from the highly regarded PUMA range, now equipped with a continuously variable transmission and an engine power boosted up to 251hp maximum. The new series comprises two models: the PUMA 225 CVX (165 kW/224 hp) and the PUMA 210 CVX (157 kW/213 hp).

The new PUMA CVX series boasts more than just the latest generation of continuously variable transmission technology. The PUMA CVX also features a newly-developed control concept, the latest version of the Multicontroller and a wide range of innovative technology to ensure operators remain focused and productive.

MAGNUM with more comfort, traction and efficiency

Also making its first appearance at Bologna, the 2009 version of the large MAGNUM tractor series will feature a new suspended front axle. Providing more than provide extra comfort, the system also improves traction in all operating conditions.

In the face of increasing energy prices, the efficiency of machines and low running costs for tractors play a much more important role than ever before. To meet these requirements CASE IH now offers Automatic Productivity Management (APM) for the MAGNUM tractor series. CASE IH is the first manufacturer to offer APM for tractors with Full-Powershift transmissions. Depending on the load situation, the system reduces fuel consumption by up to 24 percent compared to tractors of similar power without APM.

STEIGER 485 powered by the most economical tractor engine available

The STEIGER 485 features a 12.9 litre Cursor engine with Turbo Compound Technology. This system passes the exhaust through a second turbine after the turbocharger. The energy generated by this turbine is transferred via a reduction gear and Voith hydro-clutch directly to the crankshaft, giving a considerable boost to engine performance and fuel efficiency.

Performance is increased by eight percent at the same fuel consumption. With this system the STEIGER 485 has a unit fuel consumption of 195 g/kWh, making it the current most fuel-efficient tractor in the world!
