Case IH Puma range grows as Puma 240 becomes largest model now available with PowerDrive
11 December 2024
Categories
Full powershift option for 240/270hp (rated/max with boost) model / Developed in response to demand for continuously-variable transmission alternative at 240hp /
St. Valentin, December 11, 2024
The 240/270hp (rated/max with boost) Case IH Puma 240 can now be specified with a PowerDrive full powershift as an alternative to the standard CVXDrive continuously-variable transmission, providing buyers with more choice at this power level to match tasks, workloads and budgets.
Available on Puma 240 models with either electronic or mechanical remote valves, the new transmission option provides 18 or 19 forward speeds, depending on whether the tractor is ordered in 40km/hr or 50km/hr maximum speed configuration. Both provide six reverse speeds. The largest Puma model previously available with PowerDrive full powershift was the 220hp/260hp (rated/max with boost) Puma 220, meaning the new Puma 240 with PowerDrive offers 8% more power in a Puma powershift package, with key transmission components upgraded to match.
Elsewhere in the Puma range, customers can now choose larger Group 48 (2.05m) tyres for the Puma 185 and 200 with CVXDrive (previously only on the Puma 220/240/260 with CVXDrive). In addition, the class 4.5 front axle is available on the full powershift Puma 185/200/220/240 with PowerDrive. This boosts load capacity by 13%, meeting the needs of customers operating front-mounted equipment or a loader. The axle upgrades permit an increased gross vehicle weight of 14,000kg on Puma models with PowerDrive. On Puma tractors with CVXDrive this figure is 15,000kg, thanks to engine side rails and a combination of the HD rear and class 4.5 front axles.
Like other Case IH machines the new model is compatible with FieldOps™, Case IH’s new all-in-one data management mobile app and web platform, which connects and integrates agronomic insights and machine performance data, providing farmers with a comprehensive all-brand fleet overview regardless of their machine makes.
