Case IH offers enhancements to 2022 Puma and Maxxum Series tractors

Mar 02, 2022

Case IH offers increased productivity via comfort upgrades.

Upgrades to 2022 Maxxum tractors equipped with MultiControl armrests and Puma 150/165 tractors will, according to Case IH, put operator comfort and convenience front and centre for greater flexibility.

The updates include a low-mount wiper, new steps, new monitor bars, and rear-view mirrors—all of which the company said will enhance operator safety.

“When it comes to getting the most out of every moment in the field, operator comfort is second to none,” said J.E. Cadle, Case IH mid-range tractor marketing manager. “Maxxum and Puma series tractors are already known for their convenient designs and features that make in-cab comfort a priority. These new upgrades will further ensure that operators are able to work comfortably and productively regardless of field conditions.”

Updates to 2022 Maxxum and Puma series tractors include:

Low-mount front wiper for maximum visibility;
In-cab cool box for increased operator comfort;
New aluminum steps;
New monitor bar with USB outlets for convenience;
New rear-view mirror for better field of view;
New battery cut-off switch located outside the door;
LED beacon lights for greater visibility in all field conditions;
Elastic hood closing rope;
New advanced loader joystick with reverser.

Last year in 2021, select Maxxum and Puma series tractors were equipped with additional safety, convenience and comfort updates to improve efficiency out in the field. These updates—including a redesigned hood for Puma series tractor models 150 and 165, improved lighting to create a uniformly lit work area, and Hi-eSCR2 emissions technology for longer service intervals and enhanced fuel economy—were driven by customer input.

“Every enhancement we’ve made has been driven by what producers want and need from their equipment,” Cadle added. "We’re excited to build on these design upgrades in the years to come.”

Updated 2022 Maxxum and Puma series tractors are now available to order. For more information, visit www.caseih.com.

He discusses how different types of lipids affect pig performance and provides actionable insights on managing lipid oxidation in feed mills. Don’t miss this episode—available on all major platforms.

Highlight quote: "Increasing levels of oxidized fats in swine diets reduced the efficiency of feed utilization, increased mortality, and led to more pigs being classified as culls, reducing the number of full-value pigs entering the finishing barns."
