Case IH ups the ante with Farmall M
New addition to compact tractor stable combines performance and a semi-powershift transmission in a value-for-money package, Case IH saidAccording to Case IH, the 'M' in Farmall M stands for Mighty, as it combines some of the best features across the Farmall range in one compact but powerful tractor.
Making its official debut at the FarmFest field days in Toowoomba, the new tractor features Farmall U’s SPS transmission, hydraulics and Electronic Draft Control (EDC); and Farmall JX’s engine and front axle design.
A key feature of the new Farmall M is the ActiveDrive 4 transmission - a smooth-shifting semi-automatic transmission that uses buttons instead of clutch for seamless gear shifting.
With a total of 32 forward and 32 reverse gear options, the ActiveDrive 4 transmission covers a wide range of speeds, from 0.28km/h to 40km/h.

All Farmall M models are powered by a 4-cylinder, Tier-3 emission level compliant S8000 engine, offering power ranging from 90 to 110hp.
An electro-hydraulic power shuttle allows for efficient and quick forward and backward movement without having to press the clutch pedal, which is especially useful in a front loader application.
Six hydraulic outlets, fender-mounted hydraulic controls and hydraulic top link come standard on all three models, with hydraulic lift capacity rated at 5400kg.
A standard electronic hitch control system helps with controlling and utilising heavy agricultural attachments, which is useful in subsoil work.
The Farmall M features three different PTO speeds - 540, 540E and 1000rpm, and automatic PTO function. An electro-hydraulic power take-off (PTO) clutch also comes as a standard feature.
All Farmall M models come with an enclosed cab with air-conditioning, ergonomic control levers, air-suspension seat and sunroof.
“The Farmall range represents our smaller horsepower tractors, but these tractors have always been big on performance and features,” said Case IH ANZ Product Manager for Mid Horsepower & Compact Tractors, Seamus McCarthy.
“The Farmall M is a perfect reflection of this and represents customer expectations that our increasingly sophisticated technology isn’t reserved only for our larger tractors, but that it’s also incorporated at the lower end of our tractor line-up.”
