Case IH’s ‘Mighty’ Farmall debuts
New Farmall M tractor combines best features of compact Farmall range in one machine
After almost seven decades of hiatus, Case IH has brought the Farmall M tractor series back on the market, this time featuring all the latest technology and designs for the modern farmer.
Case IH says the ‘M’ in Farmall M stands for ‘Mighty’, due to the standard package it offers, the power it provides and its value for money.
It is the latest in Farmall’s 'letter series' tractors, which also includes the B, JX, C, U and JXM ranges. The M series is Case IH’s most advanced Farmall offering so far, according to the brand, as it combines several of its Farmall siblings’ best features in one 'Mighty' tractor.
These include Farmall U’s SPS transmission, hydraulics and Electronic Draft Control (EDC) and Farmall JX’s engine and front axle design.
ActiveDrive 4 transmission
A key feature on the Farmall M is the ActiveDrive 4 transmission - a smooth-shifting semi-automatic transmission which utilises buttons instead of the traditional clutch for easy and 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 0.28 km/h to 40 km/h.
The Farmall M range is powered by a Tier 3 compliant, 4-cylinder S8000 engine, providing power output ranging from 90 to 110hp.
The range also features electro-hydraulic components such as an electro-hydraulic powershuttle to ensure efficient control of the tractor itself as well as the attachments.
The Farmall M models have a hydraulic lift capacity of 5400kg, six hydraulic outlets, fender-mounted hydraulic controls, and hydraulic top link. A standard electronic hitch control system ensures high precision especially during subsoil work by making it easy to control heavy agricultural attachments, Case IH adds.
There are three different PTO speeds (540, 540E and 1000 rpm) available with the Farmall M with automatic PTO function. This system is combined with automatic 4WD and differential lock for easy row-end manoeuvres.
The cab is spacious with air-conditioning, ergonomic control levers, air-suspension seat and sunroof. Bringing the Farmall M into the modern era, Case IH has equipped it with next-generation design and styling that includes enhanced visibility for the operator and improved accessibility for maintenance.
“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.”
Case IH’s Farmall M range is now available in Australia and New Zealand across its dealership network. For more information, visit caseih.com.au
