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.

| Gears | 18 forward and 6 reverse |
| Clutch | electro-hydraulic wet disc |
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.
