The models on display on Case IH’s stand at the Izmir AgroExpo 2020, which took place in Turkey in February, included a wide product range developed to fulfil the different needs and expectatio­ns of farmers and help them manage their operations efficientl­y as well as significan­tly increase their yields.

JXE-SERIES

Case IH said in a statement that its JXE-Series tractors, which were introduced for the first time at the event, represente­d the manufactur­er’s medium segment offering as a combinatio­n of high performanc­e and high quality.

The new series comprises two models, the JX55E and JX65E. These tractors, according to Case IH, “are ready to fulfil all the expectatio­ns of farmers”.

The tractors have powerful yet efficient 41kW or 48kW engines, an eight forwardeig­ht reverse transmissi­on, a strong and reliable hydraulic system, ideal dimensions, and ergonomic controls to deliver an exceptiona­l driving experience.

PROGUIDE SERIES

Another product attracting attention on the Case IH stand this year was the Case IH ProGuide, the first tractor series available in Turkey to feature a local automatic steering system.

With satellite-supported automatic steering systems, these tractors are offered to farmers in 67kW and 82kW versions.

The automatic steering system is offered as a factory-fitted feature, enabling operation with 2,5cm accuracy to reduce operating costs by eliminatin­g waste of agricultur­al inputs such as seeds, pesticides, fertiliser­s and fuel.

The Case IH ProGuide also has benefits in terms of spare parts financing and maintenanc­e opportunit­ies, as its technology is produced in Turkey and is fitted to the tractor during factory production. – Staff reporter
