SEVERAL OF Case IH's ranges are being revamped and there is also a completely new range, the Luxxoms, to replace the outgoing Farmall U-Pro range.

The new machines will be launched at the forthcoming EIMA Show in Bologna, Italy, from November 9-13, 2016, with the new Luxxum range taking centre stage. There's also a revised Maxxum range and changes to the Farmall C range.

The Luxxums cover between 99 and117hp are mid-range tractors with high spec' levels. They have a 32f/32r automatic gearshift with power shuttle, the much vaunted Multicontroller armrest with its integrated loader joystick, plus cab and front axle suspension.

The transmission offers four powershift steps and eight ranges, and can be set to shift progressively within each of the lower four ranges for field work, and through the higher four for road travel.

The improved seven-model, 58-114hp Farmall C tractor range, will see new features for 2017, will make their European debut at EIMA 2016. These can now be specified with the Multicontroller armrest and the maximum lift capacity on the four largest models can be increased to 4.4 tonnes via an optional assister ram. Further options include a three-speed (540/540E/1,000rpm) pto, and an ‘eco’ 40kph top speed achieved at lower engine rpm, plus the ability to specify tractors loader-ready from the factory.

A refresh for the Maxxum range will see four 115-145hp four-cylinder models and two 145hp six-cylinder tractors all meeting Stage IV emissions legislation. Improvements include a new work light package, revised styling and a single-piece windscreen.

In the cab, there's more seat choices and the option of Class 3 ISOBUS control on Maxxum Multicontroller and Maxxum CVX models, with updated HMC II headland control.
