Case IH has unveiled its new Versum CVXDrive tractors at this week’s SIMA show in Paris, France.
This new line-up consists of four models (circa 100-130hp). AgriLand’s own Breifne O’Brien was at the event yesterday (Sunday, February 24). He took these shots.
Key features of the new Versum CVXDrive are, as its title suggests, its stepless transmission and, also, a Stage 5 compliant FPT (four-cylinder; 4.5L) engine.
Not surprisingly, the Versum CVXDrive is broadly similar to the recently introduced T5 Auto Command line-up from sister brand New Holland.
Inside the Case IH tractor’s cab, you’ll find a ‘Multicontroller’ armrest (pictured below).
Below is yet another in-cab photograph; this time showing the driver’s seat and steering column.
Other details are, as yet, scant – as this week’s show serves as the initial public unveiling of the tractor.
However, we do know that the Versum CVXDrive comes with front axle and cab suspension, as well as a closed-centre, load-sensing hydraulic pump (with a capacity of up to 110L/min).
Of course, stay tuned to AgriLand for further updates…
