TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The CaseIH Maxxum 115 features a versatile transmission system with options for a 12-speed mechanical shuttle, as well as 24-speed and 16-speed partial power shift variants, enhancing operational flexibility and efficiency across varying tasks. The mechanical shuttle provides straightforward bidirectional operation suitable for loader work, while the partial power shifts allow for smooth transitions between gears, minimizing engine load during shifts. However, transitioning between different transmission types may require operator familiarization; careful consideration of the intended application is necessary to select the optimal configuration for maximum productivity.

TRANSMISSION 1

The CaseIH Maxxum 115's Synchroshift transmission provides a mechanical shuttle, enabling smooth gear transitions with 12 forward and reverse options. This configuration offers versatility for various applications, particularly in farming tasks that require frequent directional changes, such as loader work or field tillage. However, operators must be mindful of potential wear on the shuttle mechanism under heavy usage, making regular maintenance crucial for optimal performance.

Type mechanical shuttle
Gears 12 forward and reverse
Description Four gears (1-4) in three ranges (I-III)

TRANSMISSION 2

The CaseIH Maxxum 115 tractor's 24-speed partial power shift transmission enhances versatility, allowing for efficient speed variation and smooth transitions between gears, which is beneficial for diverse field operations. The inclusion of a high-low power shift further optimizes performance, catering to different load conditions and terrain types, thus improving productivity. However, operators must be adept at utilizing the transmission to fully leverage its capabilities, as improper gear selection could lead to decreased efficiency.

Gears 24 forward and reverse
Description The 24-speed transmission adds a high-low power shift to the base Synchroshift 12-speed transmission

TRANSMISSION 3

The CaseIH Maxxum 115 features a partial power shift transmission with 16 forward and reverse gears, allowing for fine-tuned control and adaptability across varied work scenarios. Its hydraulic wet disc clutch enhances durability and smooth operation, while the AutoShift capability enables automatic gear shifting to optimize engine load, improving fuel efficiency during sustained field operations. However, the complexity of the AutoShift system may require familiarity for optimal operation, especially in varied terrain.

Description Four power shift gears in four ranges. Autoshift provides automatic shifting to maintain engine load

MECHANICAL

The CaseIH Maxxum 115 offers a robust 4x4 MFWD option, enhancing traction on varied terrains, especially beneficial for fieldwork and heavy towing. Its hydrostatic power steering and hydraulic wet disc brakes ensure superior maneuverability and stopping power under load, although the optional trailer brakes may necessitate additional setup for consistent performance. The variety of transmission options provides flexibility; the 24-speed partial power shift is ideal for applications requiring precise speed control, while the 12-speed mechanical shuttle is suitable for straightforward tasks in less demanding environments.
