The 240/270 hp (rated/max with boost) Case IH Puma 240 can now be specified with a PowerDrive full powershift, as an alternative to the standard CVXDrive continuously variable transmission.
Available on Puma 240 models with either electronic or mechanical remote valves, the new transmission option provides 18 or 19 forward speeds, depending on whether the tractor is ordered in 40km/hr or 50km/hr maximum speed configuration. Both provide six reverse speeds. The largest Puma model previously available with PowerDrive full powershift was the 220hp/260hp (rated/max with boost) Puma 220, meaning the new Puma 240 with PowerDrive offers 8% more power in a Puma powershift package, with key transmission components upgraded to match.
Elsewhere in the Puma range, a larger Group 48 (2.05m) tyres is available for the Puma 185 and 200 with CVXDrive (previously only on the Puma 220/240/260 with CVXDrive). In addition, the class 4.5 front axle is available on the full powershift Puma 185/200/220/240 with PowerDrive. This boosts load capacity by 13%, meeting the needs of working with front-mounted equipment or a loader. The axle upgrades permit an increased gross vehicle weight of 14,000 kg on Puma models with PowerDrive. On Puma tractors with CVXDrive this figure is 15,000 kg, thanks to engine side rails and a combination of the HD rear and class 4.5 front axles.
Like other Case IH machines, the new model is compatible with FieldOps, CNH’s all-in-one data management mobile app and web platform, which connects and integrates agronomic insights and machine performance data. FieldOps provides a comprehensive all-brand fleet overview, regardless of machine makes.
