Greener, more stylish Puma breaks cover
New Tier 5 engine and new hood design among key upgrades for Case IH’s mid to high horsepower tractorCase IH’s Puma tractor range has received its first major styling update in more than a decade, along with some design upgrades aimed at addressing customer needs and providing a more environmentally friendly solution for the farm.
Due to arrive this spring, the new MY2021 Tier 5 Puma Series sports a distinctive new hood with the latest Case IH family styling, and all models now meet Tier 5 emission standards.
The new Puma models have a long wheelbase with horsepower ranging from 185 to 240hp. They still feature the same 6.7-litre FPT Industrial six-cylinder engine but with some additions including a Selective Catalytic Reduction exhaust gas after treatment system to reduce engine emissions.
“Emission-compliant power has been a major focus of research and development at Case IH and these new Pumas feature the latest in this technology,” says Case IH ANZ Product Manager for Mid Horsepower & Compact Tractors, Seamus McCarthy.
“Our patented High Efficiency Selective Catalytic Reduction exhaust gas after treatment ensures we meet emissions standards without the need for exhaust recirculation, which optimises engine power and performance for customers.”
On the Tier 5 Puma Series, engine service interval levels have been extended to 750 hours, while transmission oil service intervals have been pushed out to 1500 hours, meaning fewer oil and filter changes over the lifetime of a machine, lowering the cost of ownership.
New front axle suspension improvements include reactive steering as standard, which allows the wheels to return to a straight position after making a turn.
An adaptive steering control option allows smooth operation and accurate steering in both field and road operations.
The Tier 5 Puma Series comes with CVT transmission with improved acceleration and deceleration, better shuttle behaviour, as well as drive pedal sensitivity, cruise control override, better multi-controller sensitivity, and position detection, according to Case IH.
Other features include:
- Optional hood-mounted camera;
- Optional fully integrated front hitch with increased linkage travel and front wheel clearance;
- Upgraded road and work lights, including hood work light options, as featured on Case IH Optum and Magnum tractors;
- A low-mounted front windscreen wiper for improved visibility in wet or dusty conditions;
- Cool box with cover on the front end of the steering column;
- New left-hand aluminium steps with high performance LED ingress lighting
- Optional hand wash tank.
