Case IH launches new Tier 3 Puma Tractor at Fieldays
Case IH is expanding its popular Puma range in New Zealand, with a new model that was released at Fieldays.
Offering models from 3600 to 20,000 litres, all HiSpec slurry tankers use a unique low-profile spreading system that increases controllability, while also decreasing air pollution, particularly offensive odours.
Featuring a welded construction to ensure strength and durability, metalwork is shot-blasted prior to painting with a durable two-pack paint finish in standard HiSpec red, or alternatively specified in a range of custom colours.
SA-S models with a single axle configuration and capacities of up to 9000 litres are the most popular models in the North Island, while the tandem-axle TD-S slurry models are ideal for South Island contractors and farmers, offering capacities up to 18,000 litres, meaning fewer trips between the effluent store and the paddock.
TD-S tankers are standard with a sprung drawbar, swivel hitch and commercial-grade, tandem bogies for improved travel dynamics, increased operator comfort and an extended service life.
All HiSpec tankers are manufactured using 6mm high-grade British steel and incorporating internal implosion rings for added strength.
