Case IH has introduced ‘Signature Editions‘ (pictured above) of some Maxxum models, apparently to celebrate the recent success of the Austrian-built tractors in several international awards.
The Maxxum Multicontroller was awarded the title of ‘Machine of The Year 2018’ at Agritechnica (Germany) in recognition of the “performance and cost-saving benefits” of its ActiveDrive 8 transmission.
It also achieved the ‘Gold Medal for Innovation’ at Fieragricola (Italy) and was named ‘Agricultural Machine of the Year’ at Agrotech (Poland).
Case IH says that the Maxxum 145 Multicontroller with the ActiveDrive 8 transmission was rated as the world’s most efficient four-cylinder tractor for field work – during a DLG Powermix test. It reportedly returned a fuel consumption figure of just 258g/kWh.

It can be ordered on the standard, Multicontroller and CVX variants of both machines.
