Case IH Launches
New Maxxum Series Tractors
January 03, 2007
RACINE, Wis. - Case IH
has revamped its multi-purpose,
mid-horsepower tractor line with the
launch of eight new Maxxum®
Series tractors for 2007.
The Case IH Maxxum
Series offers greater fuel efficiency
and more power options for livestock and
row crop producers. Like the predecessor
MXU Series, Maxxum tractors have the
versatility and efficiency to handle hay
tools, row crop implements, heavy loader
work, and other general farm chores. New
Maxxum models offer 4.5- or 6.7-liter
Case IH engines, Tier 3 emission
certified from 90 to 120 PTO hp, just
below the Case IH Magnum™
and Puma™
Series tractors in size and horsepower.
"Like the new
Steiger®,
Magnum and Puma models that were
recently launched, the most visible
difference is the new Case IH styling,
with the Maxxum family name and model
number on the side hood and the new Case
IH logo on the front grill," says Tom
Dean, Marketing Manager for
mid-horsepower tractors. "But the most
significant change inside the tractor is
the efficiency of the Tier 3 engine."
Maxxum tractors
can be equipped with a new exclusive
Case IH Turn Assist system that reduces
operator effort and increases
productivity during loader work and
frequent end-of-row turns. The new Case
IH LX740 and LXL750 loaders are
perfectly matched to the new Maxxum
Series and are available with more than
70 different attachments for unmatched
material handling versatility.
Other new Maxxum
features provide added convenience. A
new fender-mounted PTO switch located
alongside the 3-point hitch raise/lower
switch is standard on all Maxxum cab
models, so operators can save time
hooking up implements. A new easily
accessible external or in-cab battery
disconnect switch makes it easy to
disconnect the battery before idle or
storage periods.
Five
Maxxum 'Pro' models loaded to boost
productivity
"All five Maxxum Pro models -
the 110 Pro, 120 Pro, 125 Pro, 130 Pro
and 140 Pro - are fully loaded with
deluxe features to boost productivity,"
Dean says. The Pro configurations are
built with an efficient Case IH
four-valve-per-cylinder common rail
electronic engine. The electronic engine
allows PTO and transport power boost of
up to 25 horsepower, along with the
fuel-saving constant engine RPM feature
as standard.
Other standard
Maxxum Pro features include a deluxe
cab, MFD (mechanical front drive),
pressure flow compensating hydraulics,
electronic draft control, and automatic
end-of-row function. The standard 16x16
semi-powershift transmission is also
available with an optional 17th
EconoGear that enhances fuel economy by
providing lower engine RPMs at top road
speeds.
Other Maxxum Pro
options include the new automatic cab
temperature control, along with
electrically adjustable rear view
mirrors that allow easy adjustment from
inside the cab. A new Auto PTO
Management option turns PTO on and off
at a designated hitch height, making for
easier operation and protecting PTO
driveline components during headland
turns.
Three
Maxxum models designed for value
Three additional Case IH Maxxum models -
the Maxxum 110, Maxxum 115 and Maxxum
125 - are geared toward versatility,
productivity and value.
"These tractors
offer a great value for the price and
share some common features with the Pro
series," says Dean. The Maxxum 110, 115
and 125 have a mechanical
two-valve-per-cylinder Case IH engine,
open center hydraulics and mechanical
draft control. Operators have a choice
of ROPS or standard cab, and 2WD or MFD
(mechanical front drive). Transmission
choices include 12x12 synchro, 24x24
synchro with high/low powershift, or
16x16 semi-powershift.
