Case IH Red Power Day Anniversary Quadtrac INNOVATION AND AWARDS Later in the ‘90s came the introduction of CVX continuously-variable transmissions to Case IH’s mid-range tractors. Delivering benefits ranging from stepless travel to the ability to work at set engine or forward speeds, CVX transmissions have taken fuel efficiency and productivity to new levels. Today, Case IH continues to focus on innovative developments to help make farming more efficient. Aptly-named EfficientPower technologies help meet the latest Stage IV emissions legislation without the need for complex exhaust gas recirculation systems or particulate filters. Tractors such as the Magnum 380 CVX and Optum 300 CVX have won a raft of European awards, and the company continues to focus on the future, with developments such as the Autonomous Concept Vehicle, designed to help address labour shortages and produce food as efficiently as possible. “The 175th anniversary of Case IH is a testament to many years of quality, perseverance and progress,” says Andreas Klauser, Case IH brand president. “It’s also an occasion to reflect on our guiding principles of innovative engineering, efficient power and agronomic design, a philosophy that will continue into the future. “When I look at the enormous transformation that has taken place in agriculture over the past 175 years, it’s very exciting to think about what might be achieved during the next 175. I’m sure that will be discussed during our celebrations with customers, dealers and employees.” MODELS MARK TWENTY YEARS OF QUADTRAC A number of anniversary livery Quadtrac 620 tractors are now working across Europe, following their release late last year to mark twenty years since the machine’s introduction.
