Introduction
Case IH Optum 300: High-Capacity Row-Crop Tractor
The Case IH Optum 300 is a heavy-duty row-crop tractor introduced in 2016. Manufactured in St. Valentin, Austria, this machine is engineered for high-output agricultural operations, combining significant engine power with advanced transmission and hydraulic systems.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 6-cylinder, 6.7-liter FPT diesel engine. It utilizes an electronic variable geometry turbocharger with air-to-air aftercooling and a high-pressure common rail direct injection system. Rated at 300 hp (223.7 kW), the engine reaches a maximum gross power of 313 hp (233.4 kW). It features selective catalytic reduction (SCR) to comply with Tier IV emission standards.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The Optum 300 is equipped with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), providing infinite gear ratios for both forward and reverse operations across four speed ranges. Power is delivered through a four-wheel-drive system, supported by inboard planetary final drives and wet disc brakes for reliable performance under heavy loads.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system is a closed-center pressure flow compensating (PFC) setup, delivering a standard pump flow of 43.6 gpm (165.0 lpm). It supports multiple rear and mid-mounted valves. The rear PTO is fully independent, offering a variety of speeds (540/540E/1000/1000E) to accommodate diverse implements.
Operator Environment and Dimensions
The machine features the SurroundVision cab, which includes air conditioning as standard and is compatible with AccuGuide precision farming technology. With a wheelbase of 117.3 inches and a maximum weight capacity of 35,274 lbs, the tractor is balanced for heavy-duty traction. The rear lift capacity is 19,180 lbs at 24 inches behind the hitch point.
Conclusion
The Case IH Optum 300 is a versatile, high-horsepower tractor tailored for demanding field work. Its combination of a high-torque engine, infinitely variable transmission, and robust hydraulic capacity makes it suitable for professional farming operations requiring precision and sustained power.
