American agricultural machinery is a subject of special discussion. The legendary company International Harvester Company in 1905, already far from us, began the active production of a series of tractors under its own name, which eventually transformed into Case IH. Trying to give its technology bright distinctive features, the company in 1936 officially approved the red color as the only one for its products. This norm was violated only once, in 1983, when a ban on the use of paints containing lead was introduced and the technique was painted in black and white. Today Case is a tractor that combines the highest technologies that characterize it as a reliable and durable specialized vehicle.
STX600 Steige & Quadtrac
These machines are designed to work together with powerful units in fairly difficult conditions. In this regard, the tractor manufactured under the Case brand is produced both on a wheeled and a caterpillar track. Moreover, regardless of the type of chassis, each of them is four-wheel drive and has an engine capacity of 12.9 liters with a capacity of up to 600 horsepower. In this case, the engine is equipped with turbochargers, one of which is designed to operate at minimum speed, and the second is connected during increased load.
Despite the very long wheelbase compared to other similar tractors, this machine is very maneuverable: for a complete turn, it requires less than six meters with its own length of almost 8.
Thanks to its design, the CASE STX600 Quadtrac caterpillar tractor causes minimal damage to the soil, and the presence of a hydraulic system with a special reinforced drawbar makes it possible to generate power over 400 liters. from. per minute with a maximum permissible lifting force of 30 tons.
Magnum MX 340 and its features
Tractors of this series are the most popular among agricultural producers. Over the entire time of their release, more than 100 thousand Case brand cars were sold. The tractor of this series was liked by users because it ideally combines optimal traction power and excellent maneuverability. Such results were achieved due to the different design of the front and rear axles, as well as the presence of strong engines from 257 to 340 horsepower, with the ability to increase power by another 30%.
The hydraulic system allows you to work with goods whose weight does not exceed 10 tons. The electronic control system contributes to the highly efficient operation of trailed equipment. The power take-off shaft is equipped with a soft start system under load, which eliminates frequent breakdowns of components and parts.
Puma 210
This Case wheeled tractor allows farmers to solve almost any task. The machine can be used in the fields and in gardens for the purpose of transporting goods and on farms.
The power take-off shaft is controlled automatically. The achievement of a high engine power and its economy is achieved through the use of high-pressure fuel injection technology (injection) with electronic regulation of Common Rail. This allows you to maintain the required level of performance, and in some cases even add 37 horsepower.
In addition, this Case (tractor) has a Full Powershif transmission, capable of very smoothly shifting gears in high-speed mode from 0 to 50 km / h. The transition to the field or road mode of operation of the machine also occurs automatically.
Quantum NV
This Case tractor is compact and small in width because it is specially designed to serve vineyards, orchards, vegetable fields with various tall plants and narrow aisles. The minimum width of the machine is less than 1.1 meters, and therefore, during its construction, special attention was paid to lowering the center of gravity to ensure proper stability.
This Case tractor, the characteristics of which will be given below, has a specially designed engine for it and a large angle of rotation of the wheels.
Technical data of the machine are as follows:
- Engine power - 64 horsepower.
- The maximum torque is 290 Nm.
- Type of transmission - mechanical.
- Wheel formula - 2WD / 4WD.
- The performance indicator of the hydraulic pump (standard / optional) is 48/64 l / min.
- The rear linkage has a load capacity of 2360 kg.
A few words about the service
Any “Keys” tractor is designed in such a way that it does not require too much time and effort for its maintenance and repair, since access to the main components and lubrication points is as easy as possible. All parts are fully standardized and unified, which greatly simplifies their selection in the event of a possible breakdown.
Conclusion
Maximum productivity combined with minimal fuel consumption guarantees Case's machines leading positions in terms of economic efficiency. Absolutely every tractor model of the company is completely safe from the environmental point of view for the user, that is, the driver’s health is not at risk, since the cab has excellent noise insulation and an optimal viewing angle of the working area (circular glazing makes it possible for a person to see everything that is happening around him). The driver's seat is also equipped with a heating system, which allows the operator to effectively carry out the functions assigned to him in any weather.
In general, tractor control is based on the principle of "simple and comfortable." Work in the main modes occurs using a modern touch panel, which is intuitive even for an inexperienced person.
