Case IH launches new Optum tractor series

Case IH announced the launch of the new Optum tractor series with three models: 360, 390, and 440. The machines offer up to 435 hp, a new Cursor 9 engine, and integrated precision technology. The manufacturer promises increased productivity with fewer downtimes, greater fuel economy, and extended maintenance intervals.

The new line's highlight is permanent connectivity with no subscription fees. All models include telemetry, Isobus (ISO 11783) compatibility, and Intelligent Implement Management (TIM). The technology package also includes FieldOps, a platform for remote control of agronomic and machine data.

With a 6,1-meter turning radius and transport speeds of up to 60 km/h, these tractors offer agility in the field and on the road. The central tire inflation system allows for quick pressure adjustments when changing terrain. Independent suspension on the front axle and improvements to the brakes, transmission, and hydraulics increase control and power.

Cabin comfort

The cabin's comfort has also been improved. Operators benefit from wider access steps, an integrated toolbox, and a water reservoir for hand hygiene. The cabin has new suspension options and ergonomic reinforcements.

The new 4x2 CVXDrive transmission improves power transfer to the ground. The models also feature an updated power take-off (PTO) and a new hydraulic system with dual pumps, ready for high demands. The third rear point has increased lifting capacity, and changing implements has been simplified with new weights and blocks up to 2.000 kg.

The series will be officially presented at Agritechnica 2025, from November 9th to 15th, in Hanover, Germany. Prices and sale dates have not yet been announced.
