Puma Series
Puma tractors deliver multipurpose mid-to-high horsepower performance for livestock, dairy, mixed crop, and transport-heavy operations. This series includes traditional Puma and AFS Connect Puma model names used across dealer inventories.
Power Band and Model Spread
Case IH publishes the Puma family at 150–240 HP with a broader max/peak band shown as 175–260 HP, covering heavy mixed-farm and primary field support roles. The lineup uses a 6.7 L FPT engine architecture and spans from Puma 150 through 240, with AFS Connect variants extending upper-capability options in dealer naming. Published model highlights include 170 PTO HP on Puma 200 and higher peak figures on upper models, providing practical headroom for demanding PTO and draft workloads.
- •Series power range: 150–240 HP
- •Published max/peak range: 175–260 HP
- •Engine platform: 6.7 L FPT
- •Puma 200 listed with 170 PTO HP
Transmission Choices for Load Variance
Puma transmission architecture is centered on two proven options designed for fluctuating workloads: PowerDrive powershift and CVXDrive CVT. Case IH positions both for demanding applications and loader/field transitions, with MultiFunction Handle control and drivability tuning for acceleration, deceleration, and shuttle behavior. This gives operators stable low-speed control during repeated loader cycles and smooth, efficient speed adaptation under changing drawbar or PTO loads. The approach balances familiarity for traditional operators with precision for variable-speed operations.
- •Transmission options: PowerDrive or CVXDrive
- •MultiFunction Handle control on both options
- •Drivability enhancements for shuttle and speed response
- •Designed for demanding mixed-application workloads
Hydraulic Capacity and Implement Support
Hydraulic output is sized for heavy implement demands in this horsepower class. Case IH lists Puma hydraulic capacity up to 45 gpm, paired with standard 540/1,000 rear PTO for common implement compatibility. This specification profile supports high-demand loader attachments, baling and hay equipment, and transport-linked hydraulic needs without requiring a larger row-crop frame. The series is intentionally positioned as a high-capability but versatile tractor where power, stability, and responsiveness must coexist on mixed operations.
- •Hydraulic capacity: up to 45 gpm
- •Rear PTO: standard 540/1,000
- •Designed for high-demand loader and field implement work
- •Mid-size frame with high-capability hydraulic support
Service Intervals and Operational Uptime
Puma maintenance strategy follows the Case IH high-hour uptime model with extended service intervals and accessible routine checkpoints. Official series information lists 750-hour engine oil intervals and 1,500-hour transmission fluid intervals, reducing service frequency during peak seasons. The platform also emphasizes ground-level service points and wide-opening hood access. For operations that run loader, feed, hay, and field tasks in one tractor, these intervals materially reduce downtime and simplify fleet planning across annual maintenance windows.
- •Engine oil interval: 750 hours
- •Transmission fluid interval: 1,500 hours
- •Ground-level servicing points highlighted
- •Wide-opening hood access for routine maintenance
