Over the next few weeks, some of the biggest farm equipment trade shows will be taking place including the Ft. Wayne show next week and the National Farm Machinery show next month. The latest technology and tractor innovations will be on display. Not only are the size and the power of the new tractor lines impressive, but so is the sophistication of the technology used to operate the machines.
Tom Dean with Case IH says the new Red tractors will feature technology designed to save fuel, “Our diesel saver technology operates on the old adage ‘shift up and throttle back.’ It automatically does this continuously across a field taking every opportunity to lower engine RPMs.” “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."
Unlike some new technology which takes a degree in computer engineering to operate, the Case system makes equipment control easy and simple. "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." The CVT system has been available in Europe but is being brought to North American for the first time this year.
