Introduction

Case IH Puma 170: Row-Crop Tractor (2011-2013)

The Case IH Puma 170 is a high-performance row-crop tractor manufactured in Basildon, England. Part of the broader Puma series, this model was produced between 2011 and 2013, serving as a versatile solution for diverse agricultural applications requiring significant traction and hydraulic capability.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by a 6.7-liter, 6-cylinder, 24-valve FPT turbocharged diesel engine. This liquid-cooled power plant delivers a rated power of 167 hp (124.5 kW) at 2200 RPM and reaches a maximum gross power of 218 hp (162.6 kW). It complies with Interim Tier 4 emission standards through the use of Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology.

Transmission Systems

The Puma 170 offers three distinct transmission configurations to suit operational needs: an 18-speed full power shift, a 19-speed full power shift equipped with EconoGear to optimize fuel consumption at transport speeds, and a continuously variable transmission (CVT). All versions utilize electro-hydraulic wet disc clutches for smooth operation.

Hydraulics and PTO

Equipped with a closed-center pressure flow compensating (PFC) hydraulic system, the tractor provides flexible pump flow options reaching up to 57 gpm (215.7 lpm) in specific CVT configurations. The rear hitch, categorized as 2/3N, offers a standard lift capacity of 10,200 lbs (4,626 kg), with an optional upgrade to 13,400 lbs (6,078 kg). The rear PTO is independent, supporting 540/1000 and 1000/1000E speeds.

Mechanical and Dimensions

The chassis features four-wheel drive and hydrostatic power steering for maneuverability. With an operating weight of 18,740 lbs (8,500 kg) and a wheelbase of 113.6 inches (288 cm), the machine is balanced for heavy-duty field work. The standard cab can be enhanced with optional cab suspension to improve operator comfort.

Conclusion

The Case IH Puma 170 is designed for professional agricultural environments, combining high-output engine performance with flexible transmission and hydraulic options. It is well-suited for demanding row-crop operations, offering the robustness and stability required for heavy implement handling.
