Case IH: New 113hp model joins JXU Series

Case IH showed UK farmers the new 113hp model that has been introduced at the top of the company’s JXU tractor series at the 2010 Lamma Show. The tractor sits at the top of a five-model range that starts at 76hp.
The JXU tractors are powered by four-cylinder turbocharged and intercooled engines to give you maximum power for meagre fuel consumption. The steep torque rise ensures quick acceleration and aggressive pulling power while constant power ensures reliable performance in PTO applications.
The 4.5-litre engines are said to deliver outstanding performance in terms of available torque, speed of response and fuel efficiency. With up to 40%  torque in reserve (JXU85), these tractors can easily keep you on top of the most demanding tasks.
The JXU engines are equipped with big-capacity turbochargers and an air-to-air intercoolers to boost thermal efficiency. A viscous fan drive enables the engine to get to working temperature quicker, promoting efficient operation in the coldest of climates. Internal exhaust gas recirculation to lower emissions and long service intervals combine to promote efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
JXU transmissions and PTO drives are engineered for the highest degree of efficiency and reliability. Precision helical gears and forced lubrication systems, are perfectly matched to the engine and driveline for endurance and performance.
Many hours of successful operation have proved the robust reliability of the JXU’s transmissions in the hands of customers across the world. The 24 forward/24 reverse speed Powershuttle transmission is standard and includes a two-speed Powershift. Ratios are closely matched enabling a rapid speed progression without loss of momentum up to the maximum speed of 40km/hr for road transport work. In field applications there are 11 speeds in the all-important 4-12km/hr working range.
    If the sophistication of a Powershuttle transmission is not appropriate for your application, then JXU tractors can also be equipped by a conventional transmission with mechanical shuttle for forward/reverse direction changes. For specialist tasks where precision is a priority, a creep speed option is available on this driveline enabling speeds down to 200m/hr at rated engine speed.
    The heavy duty PTO driveline of JXU allows you to choose between 540, 540 Economy or 1,000rpm output speed without leaving the cab. For specialist applications, proportional ground speed is available to match the shaft rotation speed to that of the rear tractor wheels.
Boosted by two external hydraulic rams, the rear-linkage capacity is in excess of 5,800kg to lift heavy rear-mounted implements with ease. The new Maxxum-type Electronic Hitch Control system simplifies operation by placing regularly used controls under the palm of your hand.
A 61 lit/min pump serves the hydraulic and rear hitch circuit whilst the steering circuit is supplied by a separate 36 lit/min pump, ensuring that even at slow engine speed low effort steering is assured without impacting hydraulic performance. In addition, the mid mount valves incorporate a combined flow facility which can take unused oil from the steering circuit and direct up to 80 lit/min to the loader to really get things moving.
A total of five load-sensing remote valves are possible, with three rear-mounted and two mid-mounted.
You can also extend the versatility of the JXU with a 2,500kg front linkage lift capacity and a 1,000rpm front PTO system.
Driving comfort and day-long multitasking are the focus of the JXU series. Non-skid steps and wideopening, solid-glass doors ensure safe and comfortable access. All essential controls are logically positioned and within easy reach to make time spent at work more comfortable and productive.
Wide opening glass doors and an entrance route free from controls makes it easy to enter the cab from either side. The drivers seat and steering column are fully adjustable to achieve the most comfortable working position for operators large and small.
The optional factory installed system ensures a cool operating environment and a rapid demist despite the outside temperature.
The instrument cluster gives an uncluttered view of operational status. An integrated performance monitor is available.
The tractors benefit from suspension of the entire operator zone and their controls to limit harmful vibration and reduce excessive noise.
A low roof cab version is available, reducing overall height by 80mm to enable easy access to traditional buildings.
The sloping engine hood and A pillar mounted exhaust ensures unrivalled visibility to loaders or other front mounted implements. With slim cab pillars and large rear-view mirrors, the vision to working implements or following trailers is never at issue.
