No extra charge for Limited Edition anniversary tractor

Anyone planning to buy a Puma 175 CVX tractor can soon take delivery of a Limited Edition version at no additional cost. Case IH have created a 175th anniversary version of the tractor.

The Jubilee Edition is finished in a distinctive pearlescent red inherited from the Case IH Autonomous Concept Vehicle. Only 175 are to be built, carrying unique 175th anniversary decals.

The tractor will be available in a limited production run to mark 175 years since the founding of the company that became today’s Case IH Agriculture.

The jubilee edition also marks 10 years’ production at at the St Valentin, Austria, of the seven-model Puma range from 150 to 240 horse power.

Jerome Increase Case founded his eponymous farm equipment business in 1842, in Racine, Wisconsin, where the worldwide headquarters of the Case IH agricultural business remains today.

In 1869, Case manufactured the first steam-engined tractor to power stationary implements, and built the first self-propelled traction steam engine seven years later.

The JI Case Threshing Machine Company went on to become the world’s largest producer of steam engines by 1886.

In 1902, five US farm equipment firms merged to form the International Harvester Company. Case IH was created in 1985 when JI Case acquired the agricultural division of International Harvester.
