Driving models fitted with the optional new cab suspension system, will increase comfort levels.
Ready to be unveiled at Italy’s EIMA Show in November, the 2025 Case IH Farmall C models will deliver not only a fresh look, but also enhanced performance and precision farming solutions.
The 24-speed Active- Drive 2 (Hi-Lo) transmission in all models will ensure smoother shifting and exceptional control, while an increased hydraulic pump capacity of 82 l/min translates into faster loader cycle times. Additionally, the newly introduced ActiveClutch feature allows the tractor to be held on the brake pedal without using the clutch, making it ideal for front loader applications.
From the 90C to the 120C models, a key part of the evolution is a commitment to operator comfort, but also to making the job easier behind the wheel. A sixpost cab offers superior visibility, while the repositioned exhaust maintains unobstructed views. Driving models fitted with the optional new cab suspension system, will increase comfort levels, while the newly installed LED lights will ensure unobstructed vision during early mornings, late nights, or long road journeys.
An increased diesel capacity of 130 litres allows for longer operation times, while a new tank design provides greater ground clearance. The modernised digital instrumentation and adaptive lighting in the cab will create an intuitive, high-tech environment.
With optional factoryfitted telematics available in standard and advanced packages, farmers can now benefit from real-time data driven information, including geo-location, machine monitoring, and wireless file transfer, whether in the cab or remotely on a mobile device.
Precision is further enhanced with the availability of hydraulic auto guidance, powered by the Case IH Pro 1200 monitor and Case IH VectorPro receiver, to offer centimetre-level accuracy, even in the most complex field layouts.
Intelligent headland management solutions include the Auto PTO feature to automatically engages and disengages during headland turns, making transitions smoother and paired with the Auto Differential Lock, which disengages the front and rear differentials when the rear lift is raised and re-engages them when lowered, providing seamless operation during headland manoeuvres.
A newly designed front PTO equipped with a wet clutch, offers quieter and more efficient operation, while an increased gross vehicle weight of 7000kg and an upgraded rear lift capacity of 4.7 tonnes mean heavier implements can be utilised, providing greater versatility.
Larger rear tires, up to 540/65 R38 improve traction and flotation, helping to minimise soil compaction and enhance yield potential. Further developments across other models in the Farmall C line up will follow in 2025.
Landpower and the Claas Harvest Centre network will launch the Claas Scorpion and Torion material handling solutions to the market in October, in a move to offer greater choice for farmers and contractors looking for the right fit for their operation.
