Two new Case IH tractor series are making their LAMMA debut at the 2017
event, with the Luxxum and revised Maxxum lines renewing the brand’s offering
in the key 100-150hp mid-hp category. Also on show will be a range of updated
fixed chamber balers, both with and without integral wrappers.
NEW LUXXUM: HIGH-SPEC
COMPACT PACKAGE
The Luxxum 100, 110 and 120 have rated
power outputs of 99, 107 and 117hp, provided by 3.4-litre four-cylinder engines
from Case IH partner FPT Industrial. Stage IV emissions legislation is met via
patented Hi-eSCR-only exhaust treatment. Respective diesel/DEF capacities are 150/14
litres. Key new in-cab features are the Multicontroller joystick,
which operates key functions including gear and direction selection, linkage
and spool valves, and the Multicontroller armrest on which it is mounted, which
also incorporates a split throttle for max/min engine speed settings, plus controls
for hydraulic and transmission tuning.
A new 32F/32R automatic powershift
transmission with four powershift steps and eight ranges provides 40km/h travel
at 1,730rpm and features adjustable powershuttle response and speed selection.

REFINEMENTS FOR NEW STAGE IV MAXXUM MODELS
Four
models in the new Maxxum series are available as standard, Multicontroller (MC)
or CVX models, with 4.5-litre four-cyl engines spanning rated power outputs of
116-145hp (145-179hp with PTO/transport boost). There is also a 6.7-litre six-cyl
145/179hp alternative, the standard or MC Maxxum 150. FPT Industrial NEF
engines incorporate selective catalytic reduction and a diesel oxidation
catalyst, with no diesel particulate filter. Upgrades include new lighting,
single-piece windscreen with revised wiper and larger 650/65 R38 rear tyre
option, plus improved front axle damping, longer wheelbase and electronic vibration
suppression, while colour-coded, relocated spool valves simplify connection.
HMC II headland management improves programming while, on Maxxum CVX,
compatible implements can be ISOBUS-operated through Case IH’s AFS terminal.
Where capable, implements can also control tractor functions such as forward
speed and PTO speed.
FIXED CHAMBER ROUND BALERS
UPGRADED
Revised 122cm x 125cm RB 545 stand-alone and RB 545 Silage Pack
combination round balers feature a new 220cm pick-up with 5.5mm tines on five
tine bars. A 20-blade chopper is standard, offering 0, 10°, 10B or 20-blade engagement, with 52mm minimum
theoretical chop length. A hydraulic
drop floor is standard with the option to add a rotor
de-clutch system for increased protection, and ten-rib chamber rollers replace the former four-rib units. A faster-operating
duckbill system wraps netting over the bale edges, while a pre-wrapping feature
on the RB 545 Silage Pack pre-wraps bales with film for improved air exclusion upon
subsequent full wrapping. Options include a bale turner and larger flotation
tyres.
