Introduction
Case IH Puma 230: Row-Crop Tractor Overview
The Case IH Puma 230 is a high-performance row-crop tractor produced between 2011 and 2013 at the Basildon plant in England. Part of the established Puma series, this machine is engineered for heavy-duty agricultural operations requiring significant power and operational flexibility.
Engine and Powerplant
The tractor is powered by a 6.7-liter FPT 6-cylinder, 24-valve turbocharged diesel engine. It delivers a rated power of 231 hp at 2200 RPM, with a maximum gross power output reaching 269 hp. The engine utilizes selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology to meet Interim Tier 4 emission standards and features a liquid-cooling system with dual paper element air cleaners to maintain performance during intensive use.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The Puma 230 is equipped with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), which allows for infinite forward and reverse speed control, optimizing engine efficiency for specific field conditions. The standard four-wheel drive system, paired with hydrostatic power steering, provides necessary traction and maneuverability for varied field environments.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system is a closed-center pressure flow compensating (PFC) type, providing a base pump flow of 35 gpm (132.5 lpm), with a total system flow capability of up to 52 gpm. It supports 3 to 5 rear valves. The independent rear PTO offers versatile speed options, including 540/1000 and 1000/1000E configurations, with 1.375-inch and 1.75-inch shaft sizes to accommodate various implements.
Dimensions and Capacity
With an operating weight of 19,800 lbs and a wheelbase of 113.6 inches, the tractor provides a stable platform for heavy draft work. The rear hitch, categorized as 2/3N, offers a standard lift capacity of 10,200 lbs, with an optional upgrade available to 13,400 lbs to handle heavier mounted equipment.
Conclusion
The Case IH Puma 230 is a robust tractor suited for professional agricultural applications that demand high power, precise speed control via its CVT, and significant hydraulic capacity. It serves as a reliable workhorse for row-crop farming, balancing operational stability with advanced engine and transmission technology.
