ENGINE DETAIL

The CaseIH Puma 170 tractor features a robust FPT turbocharged diesel engine with a 6.7L displacement, delivering a rated power of 167hp at 2200 RPM and a peak power of 218hp, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications. Its Interim Tier 4 emissions standard compliance with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) enhances environmental performance while maintaining efficiency; however, regular maintenance of the SCR system is essential to ensure optimal operation. The dual paper air cleaner enhances filtration, reducing the risk of engine wear, which is particularly beneficial in dusty agricultural environments, although it may incur additional service costs.

CASEIH PUMA 170 ENGINE

The CaseIH Puma 170 is powered by a FPT 6.7L 6-cylinder diesel engine, offering robust performance with optimal torque for heavy-duty applications. Its high fuel efficiency reduces operational costs, but the relatively large engine size may impact maneuverability in tight spaces. This tractor is well-suited for diverse farming operations, particularly where power and durability are essential for tasks like tilling and hauling.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The CaseIH Puma 170 features an advanced 19-speed full power shift continuously variable transmission (CVT), allowing for seamless power delivery and enhanced operator comfort. This transmission type provides optimal torque management and improved fuel efficiency, making it ideal for diverse agricultural applications. However, complexities in maintenance and potential cost implications of CVTs must be considered when evaluating operational budgets.

TRANSMISSION 1

The CaseIH Puma 170 features a full power shift transmission with 18 forward and 6 reverse gears, allowing for smooth and efficient power delivery across a wide range of operating conditions, ideal for both heavy drafting tasks and transport applications. Its electro-hydraulic wet disc clutch enhances durability and minimizes maintenance needs, though it may require a learning curve for operators used to traditional clutches. Overall, the advanced transmission and clutch system provide significant benefits in productivity and operator comfort but may entail a higher initial investment and complexity in repair.

TRANSMISSION 2

The CaseIH Puma 170's EconoGear transmission optimizes fuel efficiency by allowing lower engine RPMs during transport, which enhances engine longevity and reduces operational costs. The full power shift system, with 19 forward and 6 reverse gears, offers versatile performance for various applications but may require operator training due to its complexity. A potential challenge is the maintenance of the electro-hydraulic wet disc clutch, which, while providing smooth shifting, can impose higher replacement costs compared to dry clutches under heavy use.

Description Adds transport gear to the power shift, providing road speed at reduced engine RPMs

TRANSMISSION 3

The CaseIH Puma 170 features a continuously variable transmission (CVT), providing seamless gear transitions that enhance operator comfort and productivity by allowing the driver to maintain optimal engine RPM at varying speeds. The infinite forward and reverse gears offer exceptional maneuverability for tasks requiring frequent directional changes, making this tractor ideal for applications in tight spaces or when handling various implements. However, the complexity of the CVT may lead to higher maintenance requirements and costs compared to traditional step gear transmissions.

MECHANICAL

The CaseIH Puma 170 features a robust 4x4 MFWD chassis, enhancing traction and stability across diverse terrains, ideal for both heavy tillage and transport tasks. Its hydrostatic power steering offers improved maneuverability, while the optional cab suspension enhances operator comfort during prolonged use. With options for 18-speed or 19-speed CVT, the tractor can deliver efficient power management and smooth operation, making it versatile for various agricultural applications.
