“The Puma handles the baler with ease in the summer; our farm is on heavy soil so we need some power behind us to work the ground in winter and the 175 gives us all the power we need and more,” continues Muir. “What’s more, we had a 150-horsepower machine before and the fuel consumption is as good on this one as the previous model. The CVX is brilliant and makes it a great tractor to drive; once you get used to it, it makes life a doddle. With the transmission and the comfortable cab, you can spend all day in it and get out feeling fine at the end of the day – I was really pleased to get hold of one of the special edition Puma models too, it looks smart as well as doing a good job. We’re really happy with our Case IH machines; they’ve needed very little back up service over the years but any issues we do have are quickly resolved by our local dealership, Ramsay and Jackson, meaning that we really have no reason to move away from the brand.”
