At the French SIMA show earlier this year Case IH revealed it was developing a new range of tractors to fit between the current Puma and Magnum series. The launch is planned for Agritechnica but the new tractor is already out in the open and on numerous internet sites. Reportedly snapped at a French dealer meeting, this picture clearly confirms the new tractor is called the Optum. We understand there are two models – the CVX 270 and CVX 300, both of which meet Stage IV/Tier 4f engine emissions.
