The larger 3.6-litre four-cylinder FPT Stage V engine in the latest versions of Case IH’s Luxxum tractors takes up the same space as the previous block, but provides increased power output at the lower end of the range, and up to 5.0% higher torque levels.
Reaching its maximum torque at the lower engine speed of 1,300rpm, the new block is said to improve load response and start capability under heavy loads. The exhaust after-treatment system meets Stage V legislation using a DOC, a maintenance-free particulate filter and an SCR unit.
The electrohydraulic joystick on the new tractors combines the new L series front loader and transmission controls, so there is no need to switch between the Multicontroller and joystick.
New options include a leather steering wheel, and carpet on the cab floor, will be available as it is on its bigger brothers, as will two new work lights, increasing the total number to 10.
Designed for mid-size livestock and mixed farms and delivering 101, 110 and 117hp, the new Luxxums are still paired with the ActiveDrive 4 semi-automatic transmission.
