Case IH extends the Optum series tractors with three new models: 360, 390, and 440. With increased comfort, the new Optum tractors deliver more horsepower and feature integrated precision technology.
The new Optum enables faster transport speeds, increased service intervals and fuel autonomy. Integrated precision technology, with Technology Package options to suit individual needs, includes Connectivity Included, a Case IH feature that eliminates subscriptions for machine connectivity, along with telematics and ISOBUS compatibility with Tractor Implement Management (TIM). In addition, FieldOps unlocks the power of Connected Services and allows for simple management of the tractor’s machine and agronomic data.
“The Optum’s size and power are suited to a wide range of applications, from tillage and seeding, to baling or transport,” said Franz Josef Silber, global product marketing medium horsepower tractors at Case IH. “Paired with machinery, the tractor’s automation-driven features and configurable technology deliver efficiency and ease of use.”
The Optum offers high horsepower performance – 360, 390 and 435 HP. With a 6.1 m (20 ft) turning radius and new Cursor 9 engine, operators can maneuver the Optum while covering more ground with the fastest road speeds yet, up to 60 kph (37 mph). It also features an extended 750-hour service interval and a fully integrated Central Tire Inflation System, which allows operators to quickly and easily change tire pressures when going from the road to the field.
An all-new independent front axle suspension paired with upgraded braking, transmission and hydraulics delivers heightened control and power. The upgraded cab features advanced vehicle suspension options and comfort enhancements such as walk-in entry steps, integrated toolbox storage, and a built-in water tank for convenient hand washing.
“Today’s operations need equipment to drive productivity more than ever,” added Silber. “The Optum gives operators that needed boost in horsepower and performance to complete any on-farm task in every season.”
With updated power take off (PTO) and new rear 3-point linkage with increased lift capacity, operators can swap implements between tasks, minimizing downtime. It also features new, easy to install wheel weights and a 1000kg or 2000kg weight block that is available as factory fit. Additionally, the Optum offers a new 4×2 CVXDrive transmission, optimizing power to the ground. Dual hydraulic pumps are available to meet the most demanding requirements efficiently.
