Case Puma cvx transmission

[samsung]

What are they like?
Is it their own or zf or another make ?
user opinion, is it user friendly
Thanks

 

[Spanner_Man]

Own design, very user friendly, cheap to sort when they go wrong.l Keep the software up to date and it will be grand

 

[Ali_Maxxum]

Their own. Love ours, very user friendly, wouldn't go back to anything else now.

Best cvt on the market!!

I tried one on a maxxum 4 year’s ago, wanted to like it, but just couldn’t get my head around it.
too illogical, push the stick forward to go backwards, what’s that all about ?

Got another flavour cvt instead, more logical and user friendly.

Onto my 4th cvx, very simple push and go. My 1st was the Styre? one. new stepper motor before 100 hours.

Isnt it technically Steyr who developed it or am I misremembering?

Either way it is the best CVT on the market imo with either stick or pedal mode..

Steyr produced the first case cvx with zf input arguably the best vario. The newer cvx is of cnh origin

Should have tried a blue one Forwards to go forwards back to go back

Like most things on Case it seems as though NH had first dibs at the parts bin and Case had what was left over or had to think of a different way of doing it.

Huh weird, I've always thought the exact same thing about NH.. I mean why do they still stick a dash behind the wheel when the Austrians figured out the much superior placement ages ago??
And why, oh why, can't they also use a drive stick that runs in a track rather than the awkward thing they use now.
Case is the only brand of tractors where the stick is actually usable, all others are kept in pedal mode 100% of the time.

Is it not the same box? I thought that it was the original Steyr designed ZF box but just with evolved spec and features within the control side?

Never found the dashboard an issue on the NH, to be fair most info is on the telly screen anyway.

And hardly ever use ours in pedal mode.

The NH joystick is a lot nicer to use and better laid out than the one on the case as well.

We got red and blue versions here and blue one does double the hours of the red one Annually

I think the case variants look weird with nothing behind the steering wheel just a lump of plastic. The new Holland dash could do with updating to a screen admittedly but as above, all the info is on the 10” screen on the armrest. Hardly look at the dashboard ever.

No totally different I,m afraid

I find mine sluggish switching from forward to reverse compared to the Valtra and john deeres I've used but than that its a fine! can be very twitchy at low speeds too if you don't limit the pedal travel. A full rebuild including new brakes, a clutch pack and some niggly wiring issues sorting cost me £8300 this spring which was bloody painful but as vario rebuilds go I didn't think it was too bad.

That sounds very reasonable compared to my green experience!

 

[Spanner_Man]

Think yourself lucky not a powershit, would have been 15k + just for the trans re build

 

[starkey92]

Yes about the only plus to come out of the whole experience was that its cheaper to repair than any other gear box

Correct me if I'm wrong but surely the NH sidewinder and you pull the stick 'back' it just slows the tractor to eventually a stop. Then if you select reverse and want to speed up you still have to push the stick forward? Or is it like a Massey powershift design and pull back to go faster in reverse?
