TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The CaseIH Puma 215 features an 18-speed full power shift transmission alongside a 19-speed continuously variable transmission (CVT), offering versatility in power management and fuel efficiency. The 18-speed allows for precise gear selection in varying load conditions, while the CVT provides seamless acceleration and reduced fuel consumption. Optimal scenarios for the Puma 215 include fieldwork requiring frequent load changes, where the CVT's fluidity enhances productivity, although users must be aware of potential maintenance complexity with the CVT system.

TRANSMISSION 1

The CaseIH Puma 215 features a full power shift transmission with 18 forward and 6 reverse gears, providing seamless shifting for enhanced productivity and operator comfort. The electro-hydraulic wet disc clutch ensures smooth engagement and durability, reducing maintenance frequency. In scenarios that require frequent direction changes, such as loader work, this setup allows for efficient operations with minimized operator fatigue.

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

TRANSMISSION 2

The CaseIH Puma 215's EconoGear transmission enhances fuel efficiency by allowing for reduced engine RPMs during road transport, making it ideal for long-distance hauling without sacrificing speed. The 19 forward and 6 reverse gears provide versatile operational flexibility, accommodating various field and transport scenarios. However, the electro-hydraulic wet disc clutch may require more maintenance compared to traditional clutches, posing a potential downside for operators.
