Case IH Puma 130-215

At the end of 2010, the Case IH Puma series models 160–215 were introduced, followed in the autumn by the 130 and 145. The 130–160 models had a shorter wheelbase. At the same time, even more powerful tractors were added at the top end of the series. All models bore the Efficient Power badge, meaning they were equipped with a 6.7-liter Fiat Powertrain Technologies NEF engine with SCR technology. Depending on the model, an extra 41–51 horsepower was available at road speeds or when sufficient power was demanded for the PTO or hydraulics.

On the short-wheelbase models, the base transmission was fitted with a 4-speed creeper. In the 40 km/h version there were 18 forward and 6 reverse gears. The 50 km/h version added an extra gear that took power past the main gearbox. In Finland, the standard specification included a 6-speed creeper, electro-button shift automation, and an electronic range shift. In the version known as Full PowerShift, the range change was handled automatically by the shift logic. The start-off gear was programmable, and after a direction change you would return to the last gear used. Hydraulic flow ranged from 113 to 150 liters per minute, depending on the model. Up to nine hydraulic valves could be fitted if required (five rear and four mid-mount). Rear lift capacity was between 8,257 and 10,463 kilograms. The front axle had a 100% disc differential lock, and lock and four-wheel-drive engagement were automated based on steering angle. In Finland the heavier-duty Heavy Duty front axle was standard.

Cab noise level was 69 dB. The cab structure was essentially the same as on the Maxxum series and featured full-length glass doors on both sides. The controls differed from those on the equivalent New Holland models. Gauges were concentrated on the right-hand A-pillar, as on the Magnum and CVX models. Most of the controls were gathered on a Multicontroller armrest and a touchscreen display. Alongside the base version, Finland also received an MCE version, which added electric hydraulic valves (five from the 170 model onward), cab suspension, and front wheel weights. The Puma tractors were built in Austria.
