The Vestrum CVXDrive, a 2023 Essential

Compact and comfortable, the Case IH Vestrum CVXDrive is a popular choice amongst farmers. With the 110 and 120 models added to the existing range, they are perfect for midsized mixed farms; but what sets these newly redesigned models apart from previous versions?

Functions

Several features are highlighted in the newly improved Vestrum CVXDrive, such as the AFS Pro 700 monitor integrated into the armrest and ISOBUS compatibility, the 4.5 meter turning radius, the cooling box inside the cabin as well as the two roof options. This tractor is capable to turn with 55 degree steering angle for exceptional agility. Additionally, with height of 2 835 millimeters (2 690 millimeters with the low roof) and its total length of 3 790 millimeters, cramped spaces are not an issue.

Mechanical

Now, let’s talk mechanic. The CVXDrive transmission with stepless range change from 0 to 40 km/h makes it capable to drive smoothly; it also offers three reactivity levels so that the driving strategy adapts itself for the work to be carried out. The special function called “Active Stop” increases safety by allowing the tractor to remain stationary on sloping ground without having to act on the clutch or the brake.

The dual throttle control, a feature that was once kept for more powerful CVXDrive models, is something that Case IH tractor users can’t live without and is now an integral part of the design.

Thanks to the large tanks with a 180 l capacity (and 19 l of AdBlue), you will now be able to spend long days in the field without the need to constantly refuel. Finally, the engine service intervals have been extended to 600 hours, meaning that the tractor will spend less time in the workshop!

All Vestrum CVXDrive models comply with the standard of reducing particles emissions by 40% compared to the previous standard.

Rear and Front Linkage

The robust rear hitch offers a lifting capacity of 5,600 kg in combination with the PFC pump of 110 liters per minute. The optional front hitch is seamlessly integrated into the front point post and can lift up to 2,300 kg. Combining the two ensures that you can complete the toughest tasks in no time.

Cabin

Cab comfort is not something to overlook when buying a tractor (after all, it’s where you’ll be spending the majority of your time!), and Case IH has thought of everything. The same control layout as the Multicontroller armrest is available on Case IH tractors, from the Vestrum CVXDrive to the Maxxum or Puma CVXDrive. If you and your team already use Case IH models and are familiar with these controls, you are guaranteed not to be out of when changing cabins. All major buttons and switches have been grouped together on the armrest to make them more comfortable and intuitive to use. You will be able to sit down and feel like you are right at home.

Visibility is a key point that will make you get the most out of your driving experience. The roof options will allow you to choose the one that best suits your needs. The continuous windshield with 235-degree wiper sweep allows for exceptional visibility; in addition, the modular lighting offer which has up to 18 LED headlights will allow you to have 360 degree night lighting without any shadows.

Other features in the cabin, such as the five-way suspension system, the refrigerated compartment with lid, the Bluetooth radio with hands-free function and the AFS Pro 700 monitor will make your life much easier during long days out in the field. Other features are available as an option, such as the automatic air conditioning system, the electric adjustable and heated rear view mirror, as well as the choice of various comfortable seats with air suspension.

AFS System

The AFS system includes everything you need to achieve repeatable accuracy down to 1.5 cm, reduce overlap, lower operating costs and maximize your profitability. In addition to being able to save time and money, you will collect crucial data that will help you improve your performance from one year to the next. Driving fatigue is one of the main factors that often comes up when buying a guidance system; with the AFS monitor built in the armrest, you can plan your route and forget about everything else.

The Vestrum CVXDrive is also compatible with all ISOBUS tractor-implement linkage features; your productivity will therefore be improved by limiting the risk of error.

Verdict

In conclusion, the new Case IH Vestrum CVXDrives is a solid choice for those looking for a compact tractor that packs some serious punch.
