Case IH to display latest products at National Ploughing Championships 2015

Case IH will be exhibiting a number of key products at the National Ploughing Championships 2015, including the Magnum Rowtrac and Stage IV Puma tractors, together with the new Farmall U Pro.

Magnum ^® Rowtrac

The new 380hp Case IH Magnum ^® Rowtrac 380 CVX combines the benefits of wheeled and tracked tractors yet outperforms both. Designed for field work, it delivers a combination of advantages which will prove popular with arable farmers and contractors.

Based on the current ‘Tractor of The Year’, the Case IH Magnum^® 380 CVX, the powerful and efficient Rowtrac combines the manoeuvrability, handling and versatility of a wheeled tractor with the ability of a tracked machine to float over the ground.

The first Magnum^® Rowtrac tractors will be delivered to UK customers at the end of 2015.

Puma CVX

The new Case IH Puma range incorporates seven models with rated power outputs from 150-240hp, the top-of-the-range Puma 240 delivering up to 270hp with Power Boost and 1160Nm of torque from 1400-1600rpm.

A key feature of these new tractors is their powerful, efficient and ‘clean’ six-cylinder power units which utilise FPT Industrial’s proven Hi-eSCR technology to meet European Stage IV (Tier 4 Final) emission regulations. Simple and efficient, the system minimises fuel consumption, maximises performance and enables Case IH to achieve engine oil change intervals of 600 hours.

Farmall U Pro

The latest addition to the Case IH tractor family, the Farmall U Pro range comprises the four-wheel-drive 99hp 95U Pro, 107hp 105U Pro and 115hp 115U Pro.

A key feature of the new model is its premium-specification cab, which provides a superb environment for the operator with best-in-class visibility, giving unobstructed views in every direction.

Designed, developed and manufactured at the company’s St. Valentin factory in Austria, alongside Case IH’s larger Maxxum and Puma models, the U Pro is the successor to Case IH’s highly-respected CS Pro.

New polypropylene oil tank which improves oil cooling while also reduces overall weight.

The NEW Bredal F8 tillage spec spreader, this is a complete new machine , with twin floor belts side by side independently feeding each spread disc together with electrically controlled actuators altering the drop points on both discs to provide “12 section” section control with Automatic headland stop/start all controlled by GPS and operated via Isobus control from the tractors terminal, and an  independent Isobus controller can be supplied for tractors without a factory fitted Isobus terminal. Fitted on 520/85/42 tyres, air brakes, and weigh cells,  with a hydraulic opening cover, and a new disc speed reduction system for slowing down one disc for headland spreading , this is a very high spec machine aimed at customers requiring a higher level of accuracy and precision.

On display at the Abbey Machinery stand at this year’s Royal Highland show will be their new Tri-App 7.5m Slurry applicator. The new Tri-App is a new concept in slurry application and will combine the three functions of Dribble bar, Trailing boot and Trailing shoe applicators into one machine giving it the name Tri-App. The new machine can be mounted on to a tanker via fixed mounting or with the use of a Hydraulic Mast. It also is possible for it to be mounted on the back of a tractor to run with an umbilical system.

“With the increased legislative focus on low emission slurry spreading equipment the market of low emission slurry spreading products is set to grow” Commented Owen Cavanagh of Abbey Machinery.

The mounting to the tanker has been optimised to reduce the overhang and minimise the weight of the applicator on the back of a tanker. The Tri-App has been engineered to offer lightweight construction with robust design to ensure maximum durability and productivity for the end user.

Fitted with 40mm heavy duty durable hose the system is designed with no internal hose restrictions at hose joints and ensures that there are no restrictions to the flow from the Vogelsang Exacut macerator to the ground.

The Double pivot three section boom allows the outlets to follow the ground contours individually and when travelling forward protects the frame from any uneven ground
