Case IH Maxxum 145 CVXDrive loader

Case IH has released details covering changes to its tractor ranges for the 2022 model year.

The standard wheelbase Case IH Puma 140-175 tractors are now available with power outputs ranging from 155 to 200 hp. Variants using the CVXDrive have had a series of transmission upgrades to improve the shuttle and acceleration/deceleration behaviour, achieved through newly-enhanced pedal sensitivity.

As with the Puma range, the six-cylinder Maxxum tractors also feature improved acceleration/deceleration response and pedal sensitivity. The tractors offer power ranging from 115 to 150 hp, delivered via a ‘clever’ CVT system. This top power figure is a five horsepower gain over the four-cylinder Maxxum 145.

The Case IH Farmall C range now has four variants, featuring power outputs from 90 to 117 hp. All tractors use the new Stage 5-compliant, four-cylinder 3.6 L engine from FPT. This has a larger displacement and four valves per cylinder to deliver up to 10% more torque at lower engine speeds (1,300 rpm).

The 3.6 L engines use the new FPT HI-eSCR2 exhaust treatment system, which integrates a diesel oxidation catalyst, a maintenance-free particulate filter and a selective catalyst reduction unit. Even with the addition of this hardware, engine size has been maintained to support ground clearance and manoeuvrability.

The Farmall C tractors also feature the Active Drive 2 transmission, with powershuttle and powerclutch. This has 24 gears (forward and reverse), and optional cruise control and creep speeds. There are also front and rear axle electro-hydraulic differential locks, electronic draft control, a 64-litre/min hydraulic pump, three-speed PTO and optional front linkage.

The new tractors will be available from Spring 2022.
