TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The CaseIH Puma 180 tractor offers options for 17 to 19-speed full power shift transmissions as well as a continuously variable transmission (CVT), allowing for versatile performance and fuel efficiency depending on operator preferences and field conditions. The full power shift transmissions enable quick gear changes under load, optimizing power transfer during operations, while the CVT provides seamless speed adjustments for maximum operational efficiency. Operators should consider the trade-off between complexity and performance, as the CVT may require more maintenance but can significantly enhance comfort and productivity in variable terrain scenarios.

TRANSMISSION 1
The CaseIH Puma 180 features a full power shift transmission with 17 forward and 6 reverse gears, allowing for smooth and efficient power transfer, especially beneficial in varying field conditions. The transmission's design enhances operator control during heavy-duty tasks, enabling quick gear changes without losing momentum, which can significantly increase productivity. However, users should be aware that greater complexity in the transmission may lead to higher maintenance requirements compared to simpler gear systems.
| Type | full power shift |
| Gears | 17 forward and 6 reverse |
| Description | The 17-speed powershift transmission was standard on 2WD models |
TRANSMISSION 2
The CaseIH Puma 180 tractor features a full power shift transmission with 18 forward and 6 reverse gears, optimizing versatility for various agricultural tasks. The standard inclusion of the 18-speed transmission in 4WD models enhances traction and maneuverability on diverse terrain, making it ideal for challenging farming environments. However, operators may need some time to acclimate to the gear shifts, particularly in high-load scenarios where precise control is essential.
