CASEIH OPTUM 300 ENGINE
The CaseIH Optum 300 is powered by a robust FPT 6.7L 6-cylinder diesel engine, offering a balance of power and fuel efficiency suitable for diverse agricultural applications. Its substantial 166-gallon fuel tank enhances operational autonomy, minimizing downtime during extensive fieldwork, while the 25.4-gallon DEF tank supports compliance with Tier 4 emissions standards, promoting environmental sustainability. However, operators should ensure regular DEF replenishment to avoid performance derating, potentially impacting productivity in intensive use scenarios.

TRANSMISSION
The CaseIH Optum 300 features a continuously variable transmission (CVT), providing seamless gear transitions for enhanced efficiency and operator comfort. Its infinite forward gears across four ranges allow for precise speed control, while the two reverse ranges improve maneuverability—ideal for tasks requiring repositioning in tight spaces. However, the complexity of the CVT system can lead to increased maintenance challenges compared to traditional gear transmissions.
| Type | continuously variable transmission (CVT) |
| Gears | infinite (4 range) forward and infinite (2 range) reverse |
MECHANICAL
The CaseIH Optum 300 features a robust 4x4 MFWD chassis, enhancing traction and stability on diverse terrains, ideal for both tillage and transport applications. Its inboard planetary final drives contribute to a compact design, improving maneuverability and reducing wear on axles. The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) ensures optimal power delivery and fuel efficiency, making it well-suited for varying operational speeds and load conditions, but may require higher maintenance compared to traditional transmissions.
