Case IH reveals its most powerful production tractor

Available only in a tracked configuration, the Quadtrac 715 uses a 16-litre FPT Cursor engine with a two-stage turbo and 16-speed powershift transmission. Maximum power is delivered at a claimed 1,900 rpm with a peak torque of 3,255Nm at a claimed 1,400 rpm.

Offered only on the 715 model, the new engine claims a 23 per cent greater displacement than the comparatively smaller 13-litre block fitted to the lower-powered models in the range. Fuel capacity has been increased by 11 per cent to nearly 2,000 litres, spilt between two saddle tanks across the rear of the machine.

Externally, the track drive has been redesigned for the 715 which includes a 305mm longer contact area. The main drive wheel diameter has been increased to 1,008mm, which allows an increased track wrap with a greater drive-lug engagement, with five points engaged on each drive, compared to the previous four.

The 715 uses a redesigned track drive with increased contact area with a claimed larger footprint 

Case IH says the larger, redesigned bonnet allows improved service access with an increased opening area. To account for its significant mass, the single-piece bonnet is opened with an electric actuator operated from an external switch. LED lighting surrounding the tractors has been increased by a claimed 11 per cent compared to its recently upgraded Quadtrac 645 stablemate.

Although a limited mounted implement range exists to operate with tractors of this size, buyers can specify the optional 10,092kg lift Cat. 4 three-point linkage, alongside a Cat. 5 drawbar. Hydraulic options extend to a maximum of eight rear spools with a standard output of 216 litre/min or an optional twin-flow system with a 428 litre/min capacity.

Cab changes include improved ride comfort, and increase precision farming capacities

Cab access and operator comfort have been improved through the fitment of a revised design of rotating steps, four-point cab suspension and additional grab rails around the roof to improve operator safety when cleaning the windows. Internally, the cab changes have been more limited and focus on the fitment of increased storage, internal LED lighting and an expanded range of speaker options. The precision farming capacity has been increased with the provision to operate two of the manufacturer's Advanced Farming System (AFS) 1200 Isobus terminals to run guidance, automated headland turning and implement control systems.
