Fresh for Model Year 2022 the Case IH Puma 140-175 tractors benefit from a number of new features. Designed, as you’d expect, to enhance productivity and enrich the operating experience. With 165 models available from ASHBROOK, you can experience these changes yourself through tractor hire.
Learning from the success of the updated long-wheelbase Puma 185-240 series (already available through ASHBROOK). The new Puma 140-175 standard-wheelbase series – with maximum power from 155hp-200hp – has upgraded across areas including vehicle presentation, driveline behaviour, and cab ergonomics.
The profile of the series remains the same, with three versions that focus on specific customer requirements. The entry-level Puma 140-165 is the economic choice, the Puma 150 and 165 Multicontroller provides customers with more automation, and the Puma CVXDrive delivers premium productivity.
Anton Stander of Case IH explains, ‘the new Puma 140-175 models build on the positive feedback from customers, of the recently-revised long-wheelbase Model Year ‘21 Puma 185-240 tractors. With additional enhancements and improvements aimed at benefiting both owner and operator.’
‘A redesigned entrance with Magnum-style steps provides easier access. While in-cab upgrades include a phone mount, USB power ports, and a tablet mount to ease in-cab management. Interior materials have been upgraded to premium-quality, automotive-type cab trim. In addition, a new premium Case IH leather steering wheel will increase the driving appeal.’
‘Visibility on the Multicontroller and CVXDrive models has improved thanks to a new wider-sweeping low-mount wiper which covers 60% more area.’
‘Moving around to the rear of the tractor. New top link stowage ergonomics and hydraulic connections have both been improved for greater robustness. Other enhancements include LED marker lights and an air-line connection for inflation and air cleaning.’
When talking about the CVXDrive models, Anton notes ‘these models have been subject to transmission upgrades. Case IH engineers have focused on developing the driving experience by improving the shuttle and acceleration/ deceleration behaviour and enhancing the drive pedal sensitivity.’
‘In addition, there is now greater Multicontroller sensitivity and position detection. The additional override capability has been added to the cruise control pedal, which customers will appreciate when turning at the headland.’
Tom Farrington, Group Service Manager from ASHBROOK welcomes these changes. ‘Having offered Case IH tractors since 2019, we understand the excellent quality, flexibility, and constant drive for improvement that these vehicles bring to our fleet. Working with Case IH is a pleasure and ensures that we can offer the best possible deals for our customers.’
Tom goes on to add, ‘whether your requirement is short term (10 weeks) or long term (2/3 year deals), the CASE Puma range will bring a straight-forward machine with excellent fuel economy and productivity to your farm’.
