TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The CaseIH Puma 160 features an advanced 19-speed full power shift continuously variable transmission (CVT), optimizing power delivery and fuel efficiency through seamless gear transitions. This transmission enhances operator comfort and productivity, particularly in variable field conditions, by maintaining optimal engine RPM and torque. However, the initial investment for CVT technology can be higher compared to traditional systems, warranting an analysis of long-term operational benefits versus upfront costs.

| Gears | 18 forward and 6 reverse |
| Clutch | electro-hydraulic wet disc |
TRANSMISSION 2
The CaseIH Puma 160, equipped with the EconoGear full power shift transmission, offers efficient operation with 19 forward and 6 reverse gears, enhancing maneuverability and speed adaptability. The electro-hydraulic wet disc clutch provides smooth engagement and longevity under heavy use. The transport gear feature allows for reduced engine RPMs during road use, resulting in fuel savings and lower engine wear, making it ideal for both field work and longer transport tasks.

| Description | Adds transport gear to the power shift, providing road speed at reduced engine RPMs |
TRANSMISSION 3
The CaseIH Puma 160 features a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that allows for infinite gear ratios in both forward and reverse directions, providing optimal engine performance and fuel efficiency across various conditions. This system enhances operator comfort and control during high-demand tasks, such as tillage or planting. However, potential challenges may include increased complexity in maintenance and repair compared to traditional transmission systems.
