Case shifts to enhanced communications, LEDs

Case IH has enhanced its electronic features and functions, adding ISOBUS Class 3 capabilities and beefing up its Advanced Farming Systems (AFS) communications technology. In a broad product rollout, the company also increased its use of LEDs and improved fuel economy by reducing shift times and employing a variable vane cooling fan.

Case IH beefed up its Optum and Steiger tractor lines and unveiled new balers and other implements at the recent Farm Progress Show in Decatur, IL. The company also rolled out its LB4 series large square balers, which offer an ISOBUS Class 3 enabled Feedrate Control system. When paired with a range of hay and forage tractors that offer this control technology, the baler uses ISOBUS Class 3 commands to control the tractor's forward speed.
