Case Rolls Out Continuously Variable Transmission

By Jim.Robinson|September 8, 2009

The Case IH continuously variable transmission (CVT), now available on Case IH Magnum 180, 190, 210 and the new 225 tractors, delivers more. It offers more power and fuel efficiency while working at field speeds, pulling a load. The product proves simple to use, even with minimal training, because there’s no programming required or complicated settings to change.

“Case IH CVT technology automatically adjusts to deliver the best possible balance of power and fuel efficiency,” says John Bohnker, Case IH marketing manager for Magnum and Steiger tractors. “It definitely hits the sweet spot between power, efficiency and simplicity.”

“With competitive models, you have to program in RPM changes and load changes to keep it efficient,” Bohnker adds. “When you have a Case IH Magnum with CVT, you just drive it.”
Case IH Magnum CVT tractors employ the Diesel Saver Automatic Productivity Management (APM) logic.

“The operator simply selects the desired working speed based on the specific application and time available, and the APM system adjusts automatically and continuously,” Bohnker explains. “The operator also can store up to three different pre-set speed ranges, for fast, easy transition from field speed to turning speed to road speed.”
