ENGINE

More Productivity, Less Fuel

Case IH SCR Technology
Case IH Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology improves horsepower, engine responsiveness, fuel economy and durability, all while lowering emissions. It's innovation that meets government standards without sacrificing production.

Engine

• Delivers Efficient Power with a Case IH 6.7-liter, 6 cylinder turbocharged, intercooled engine
• PowerBoost - boosts your engine by up to 35 HP to meet today's hydraulic demands
• Rated engine working speed of 2,200 rpm
• 4 valves per cylinder for improved fuel economy and power
• Extended oil change intervals save you time and maintenance costs
• Electronic Common Rail fuel system gives you fast responses in changing field conditions

Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)

• Meets the tough new Tier 4 B/Final emissions standards
• SCR after-treatment converts nitrogen oxides into nitrogen and water vapors
• Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), a non-toxic mixture, triggers the change
• Engine design reduces particulate matter created by incomplete fuel burning
• 10% lower operating costs with exhaust as clean as the intake air

More Power, Better Fuel Economy

• SCR maximizes horsepower because the system is separate from the engine
• The design leads to better fuel economy and improved engine durability, while giving you more flexibility to choose among diesel fuel varieties and grades
• Case IH has a full team of professionals to help you tailor your equipment to fit the way you farm and meet new challenges

TRANSMISSION

More Usable Horsepower When and Where You Need It
The Case IH Puma lineup has plenty of power in a mid-size package, plus features like Power Boost, Power Growth, and the CVXDrive transmission option - to deliver more power when and where you need it most, while keeping you productive.

CVXDrive Continuously Variable Transmission

Smooth, Seamless Changes
Select the target speed, and the transmission automatically adjusts to deliver the desired speed and match load conditions. No manual clutching or shifting required.

Active Stop Feature
Provides a powered neutral that prevents tractor movement, even with fully loaded trailers on steep slopes. Great for chores that require frequent starting and stopping.

Fuel Saving
Maintains power to the ground. Shifting of gears is done automatically and never under a load, which helps saves fuel and allows operator to focus on other operational needs.

Easy to Operate
The simplicity of our CVXDrive technology makes it ideal for less experienced operators to maintain peak efficiency in all field conditions and applications.

PowerDrive Powershift Transmission

Options to Fit Your Needs
Standard 18x6 PowerDrive Powershift Transmission. 19x6 PowerDrive Powershift Transmission option available. Operating speeds up to 30 mph.

Made to Last
Robust, proven and reliable transmission providing longer life

Maximize Productivity
Nine gears in the field working range 0 to maximize on productivity

Speed Matching
Allows best match of travel speed to engine RPM

Advanced Farming Systems (AFS)

Integrated Precision Farming Technology

Factory-installed AFS components and dealer-installed options on Puma tractors offer dependability and convenience and give you the flexibility you need to help ensure you’re ready to begin gathering data as soon as you pull into the field.

Plug-and-Play Auto guidance Ready — Right from the Factory

Minimizing skips and overlaps saves on fuel, seed, fertilizer and chemicals. Precisely placing seeds can improve agronomic performance. Achieving year-to-year repeatable accuracy — as tight as plus or minus 1 inch — becomes reality with AFS AccuGuide^™ auto guidance.

AFS Pro 700

In a single display, the AFS Pro 700 display provides control functionality and simple integration for Case IH LB4 large square balers and RB5 round balers, Early Riser^® planters, Precision Disk^™ drills and ISOBUS-compliant implements. Plus, you can use your display with third-party ISOBUS-compliant implements.
