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.
Recently launched to complement the existing DM 8612 TL and DM 9614 TL machines, Massey Ferguson has added the heavy-duty 9614 TL and 10114 TL butterfly mowers to its DM range, with working widths of 9.6m and 10.1m respectively.
Equipped with the latest spur gear cutter-bar and a conditioner as standard, the latter is offered with the choice of the tined KC version or the RC roller option, which features drive to both rollers and a more aggressive steel-on-steel option for heavier crops such as lucerne.
Pro models offer ISOBUS control, allowing users to automate functions or adjust conditioning intensity to match the crop and produce a uniform dry matter content.
Pro models can also connect the front and rear mowing units, offering manual or automatic side shift for the front mower, helping to reduce missed areas on hills or sidling land.
In operation, the system automatically adjusts ground pressure, via MF’s Turbo- Lift, in relation to the rear mower. GPS section control lifts the mower on the headland to avoid previously worked areas, while the rear mower automatically raises and centres when reversing.
All Pro models are also be optioned with a belt grouper that transfers crop to the centre.
