PRODUCT NEWS Left: The ActiveDrive8-equipped Maxxum is the company’s new three-range, eightspeed powershift transmission featuring double-clutch technology transmission revamp The much-anticipated Case IH Maxxum with the dual-clutch ActiveDrive8 transmission has arrived in Australia and New Zealand The ActiveDrive 8-equipped Maxxum is the company’s new three-range, eight-speed powershift transmission featuring double-clutch technology. The Case IH Maxxum series is the first Case IH t actor to offer the ActiveDrive 8 technology and was the model that won the prestigious Tractor of the Year award at EIMA conference 2018. Case IH ANZ product manager for mid horsepower and compact tractors Seamus McCarthy says there are significant benefits with the Maxxum Multicontroller with ActiveDrive 8 transmission. “At its heart, we’re talking about enhanced efficiency and ease of use – this makes the tractor so easy to drive and operate at its optimum level,” McCarthy says. “With ActiveDrive 8, the transmission automatically selects the right gear, not just the next gear, when the operator requests more or less ground speed. “This is a new technology that offers customers a step up from the powershift option, and at the same time gives them a taste of our state-of-the-art CVT transmission option,” he adds. Mechanically speaking, the transmission has three ranges and a total of 24 speeds in both forwards and reverse. Case IH says the double-clutch technology results in less torque interruption, while pedal clutching is not necessary for range changes, making it more suited for power-hungry tasks where momentum is important. McCarthy says the Maxxum Multicontroller offers the usability, efficiency and di ect-drive feel seen in powershift transmissions and now enhanced with features like Brake to Clutch, APM, auto road/field modes and smooth shift “With these features – and more – this mid-sized tractor makes a perfect fit for livestock producers that expect a little mo e out of their tractor, row-crop farmers and mixed farming enterprises looking for something that can be utilised for a wide range of their on-farm machinery needs,” he adds. Another of these optional features is an auto-clutch, allowing the operator to stop at the press of the brake pedal, and then resume the previous speed once the brake is released. The first of the new Maxxum models with the ActiveDrive 8 transmission is available to order now. Left: The Valtra N4 series tractors will be fitted with a new slim-line exhaust emissions adjustments Agco has dropped a Valtra model from its Australian lineup as it makes a series of model upgrades across the Valtra and Massey Ferguson marques Valtra will no longer distribute the T144 model tractor in Australia and New Zealand as it responds to Stage V emissions regulations coming into force in Europe. But the Agco brand will introduce new models – the Tier 3 (non SCR) T154, T174E, T194 and T234 models with Powershift transmissions, each of which have either a 6.6L of 7.4L sixcylinder engine. All Valtra models will also have a new slimline exhaust past the A-pillar thanks to a new after-treatment system located under the right corner of the cabin. The change will be introduced on the 4.9L N4 series tractors, with the latest N134, N154 and N174 models being fitted with a single airbag version of the Aires pneumatic front suspension – a dual airbag version being installed on the T series. The lower spec Hitech and Active variants can now be optioned with an auxiliary SmartTouch ISOBUS terminal, which also has a front linkage position display – useful for ground engaging work. Models in Valtra’s S4 range – the marque’s highest horsepower offering – will also come with a new after-treatment system located under the right side of the cab, at the expense of a fuel tank on that side. This means the left-side fuel tank has had to be redesigned to make up for the missing fuel capacity, bringing with it new stairs and a handrail, a more accessible toolbox and a new battery box. Valtra continues to offer the S4 with the option of a nonselective catalytic reduction Tier 2 engine. It uses an older version of the turbocharging system and does not produce the additional 30hp (22kW) of boost that the Stage V engine does. Some similar changes have been announced in Massey Ferguson’s 7614 and 8700S range, with an upgraded hydraulics system on the Tier 2 MF 8700S offering a linkage lift capacity of 12,000kg. The 8700S’s 3.1m wheelbase gives it stability and traction, while its 11.5m turning circle enables it to operate efficiently in headlands and its curved chassis and low bonnet help to improve visibility. A new Datatronic 5 touchscreen terminal in the cabin has tractor, guidance, ISOBUS and camera functions and the ergonomic Multipad controller makes it easy to operate. With a carrying capacity of 16.5 tonnes, the new 8700S also has a redesigned 660L fuel tank, 16 LED work lights, rubbercovered steps leading to the cab and a removable toolbox integrated to the top of the fuel tank. Changes to the MF 7614 include introducing a Dyna-6 transmission as standard, enabling it to reach a top speed of 40km/h, a heavy-duty rear linkage able to lift 8,300kg and a heavy duty 10-stud bar axle for precise track settings. 8 Trade<strong>Farm</strong><strong>Machinery</strong>.com.au THE TRACTOR YOU WANT IS NOW EASIER TO FIND
