TRANSMISSION 1
The CaseIH Puma 165 features a full power shift transmission, providing seamless gear transitions and enhancing productivity in demanding agricultural tasks. With 18 forward and 6 reverse gears, it offers versatile speed options adaptable to various field and road conditions, optimizing efficiency for tasks such as plowing and transport. However, the complexity of the full power shift system may lead to increased maintenance requirements compared to simpler transmission types.
| Type | full power shift |
| Gears | 18 forward and 6 reverse |
TRANSMISSION 2
The CaseIH Puma 165 features a continuously variable transmission (CVT), which offers seamless gear transitions and optimal power delivery for various agricultural tasks. Its infinite forward and reverse gears enhance maneuverability and efficiency, making it suitable for both fieldwork and transportation. However, operators should be aware of potential maintenance complexities associated with CVT systems compared to traditional gearboxes.
