Case IH upgrades Quantum series

Among the upgrades to the operator environment is the new optional cab suspension on CL & F versions, and a new premium seat with enhanced cushioning on all versions for greater comfort and fatigue reduction over long working periods. Detailed ergonomic enhancements designed to make the driver’s work easier include more functions for the electronic joystick that controls the remote valves, now including rear hitch raise/lower control. To further enhance the tractors’ driving experience and efficiency, an upgraded main transmission provides smoother shifting and operation. Time taken to attach implements is reduced through the introduction of new external hitch controls on the rear of the tractor.

Models specified with 4wd – both standard and suspended front axle types – incorporate a new steering sensor that disconnects 4wd automatically when the wheels are turned, for reduced soil damage and driveline stress. As a result, farm productivity is enhanced through minimized ground disturbance, and the lifetime of mechanical components is boosted through minimized component wear.

Elsewhere on the new Quantum tractors, the hydraulic pipework that supplies the front remote valves on cab tractors has been improved for enhanced support, and there are now optional narrow fenders available for low-profile (LP) Quantum versions.

The new Quantum models are easily identifiable by new styling that matches the family look of larger Case IH tractors. Blending style with functionality, the tractors’ new look is matched by LED turn/indicator lights integrated into the cab A pillars, providing not only high levels of illumination, but protecting the lights from branches and other potential causes of damage. The new Quantum with CL specification is now also available with a narrow rear fender option with Z-type rear arms to ensure easy navigation of narrow rows.
