TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The CaseIH Puma 240 features an 18-speed full power shift continuously variable transmission (CVT), allowing for seamless and efficient power delivery across a wide range of speeds. This transmission reduces engine load and enhances fuel efficiency during various field operations, making it suitable for tasks that demand both high torque and speed variability, such as tillage and planting. However, the complexity of CVTs can lead to higher maintenance costs and require specialized knowledge for repairs, which should be considered when evaluating long-term ownership.
| Description | 18-speed full power shift continuously variable transmission (CVT) |
TRANSMISSION 1
The CaseIH Puma 240 features a full power shift transmission, providing smooth and efficient gear changes without interrupting engine power, which enhances productivity during heavy tasks. With 18 forward and 6 reverse gears, operators benefit from optimized speed control and traction in varied field conditions, improving maneuverability. However, the complexity of a full power shift system may lead to higher maintenance requirements; thus, regular service checks are essential for longevity.
| Type | full power shift |
| Gears | 18 forward and 6 reverse |
TRANSMISSION 2
The CaseIH Puma 240 features a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that provides infinite gear options, enhancing operator efficiency and adapting seamlessly to varied working conditions. A key advantage is the ability to maintain optimal engine speed while adjusting ground speed, resulting in reduced fuel consumption and improved comfort during operation. However, potential challenges may include higher initial costs and maintenance of the complex CVT system compared to traditional transmission types.

| Gears | infinite forward and reverse |
MECHANICAL
The CaseIH Puma 240 features a robust 4x4 MFWD chassis, enhancing traction and stability across varied terrains, making it suitable for both fieldwork and transport tasks. Its 18-speed full power shift transmission provides seamless gear transitions, while the option for CVT offers optimal fuel efficiency and adaptability to load variations. The incorporation of wet disc brakes ensures superior stopping power and durability, although increased complexity in maintenance may arise with the hydraulic/pneumatic trailer brake system.
