Case IH Quadtrac 715
Launched at the Farm Progress show earlier in the year, Agritechnica was the first public showing of the machine. Set against a backdrop of alternative fuel options and electric drives, the diesel-powered 16 litre engine and 16-speed powershift transmission may appear to be a dated concept, however, Case IH highlighted that some of the world's more expansive arable markets are still demanding larger machinery to account for a reduction in labour to operate them and changing climates with tighter weather windows. Offered only on the 715 model, the new engine claims a 23 per cent greater displacement than the comparatively smaller 13-litre block fitted to the lower-powered models in the range. Fuel capacity has been increased by 11 per cent to nearly 2,000 litres, spilt between two saddle tanks across the rear of the machine.
