Introduction

Case IH Puma 180: Technical Overview

The Case IH Puma 180 is a high-performance row-crop tractor manufactured between 2007 and 2010. Designed for professional agricultural operations, this machine combines a robust 6.7-liter engine with versatile transmission and hydraulic configurations to handle heavy-duty field tasks.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by a 6-cylinder, 24-valve, liquid-cooled diesel engine with a displacement of 411 cubic inches (6.7 liters). It utilizes an intercooled turbocharging system and electronic high-pressure common rail fuel injection to produce 180 horsepower at a rated speed of 2200 RPM. The engine cooling system features a viscous fan, and the air intake is managed by a dual paper element cleaner with an aspirator.

Transmission and Drivetrain

The Puma 180 offers multiple transmission configurations to suit operational requirements. Options include 17, 18, and 19-speed full power shift transmissions, with the 19-speed EconoGear variant providing a transport gear designed to operate at reduced engine RPM. A continuously variable transmission (CVT) is also available for infinite speed control. The machine is available in 2WD or optional MFWD 4WD configurations, utilizing hydrostatic power steering and differential hydraulic wet disc brakes.

Hydraulics and Hitch

Equipped with a pressure flow compensating (PFC) hydraulic system, the Puma 180 provides high flow rates to support diverse implements. Depending on the transmission choice, the hydraulic pump flow ranges from 31.7 gpm to 56.6 gpm. The rear hitch is a Category II/IIIN type with a maximum lift capacity of 12,787 lbs at the ends. An optional front hitch and front PTO are available for increased operational flexibility.

Dimensions and Build

With a wheelbase of 113.6 inches and an operating weight of 17,595 lbs in the 4WD configuration, the tractor is engineered for stability. The standard cab provides operator comfort, and the machine is fitted with a 150-amp alternator and a 1300 CCA battery to manage electrical demands. Optional rear axle extensions are available to accommodate different track width requirements.

Conclusion

The Case IH Puma 180 is a versatile agricultural tractor suited for heavy cultivation, hauling, and implement management. Its range of transmission choices and high-capacity hydraulics make it a capable solution for farmers requiring a balance of power, efficiency, and operational flexibility.
