Prime-Lift loader for JX and JXU Case IH tractor

"The agricultural industry is one of four priority industries Safe Work Australia is focusing on under its 2012 strategy to reduce workplace injuries," explained Kerry McCauley, Case IH Marketing Manager. "Of the four priority industries, agriculture has seen an 11 percent decrease in incident rates since the strategy commenced in 2002.

"This is certainly something to be proud of, but we know the agricultural industry can build on this further. As one of the leading equipment manufacturers, farm safety is a key focus for Case IH and the Prime-Lift loader is testament to this with its range of optimal safety features."

The Prime-Lift's safety features include a loader self-leveling system, which dramatically enhances visibility. Meanwhile, the precise mechanical level lift function eliminates negative angle creation throughout the lift cycle, which reduces the chance of the tractor rolling over.

Built with loader work in mind, the JXU tractor is available in four models ranging from 86 to 113hp and a choice of 12x12 or 24x24 Power Shuttle transmission.

The down to earth JX tractor is also available in four models ranging from 59 to 89hp. Performance and value for money is guaranteed with the JX's 20x12 SynchroShuttle transmission. For those looking for a heavy-duty small tractor, the JX Straddle comes in three models ranging from 56 to 76 Hp.

JX High Clearance

Introduced to the JX range in late 2010, the Case IH JX High Clearance tractor is ideal for horticulture and vegetable operations. The JX High Clearance tractor has equal sized wheels and high undercarriage clearance of 610 mm, making it perfect for row crop conditions - particularly field-scale vegetable crops - allowing the tractor to travel safely over raised beds. The 80-hp JX 80 and 98-hp JX 95 High Clearance models are available in cab or ROPS versions.

The high clearance under the drawbar allows the operator to work without damaging the crop and you can easily adjust the tyre track widths depending on the crop's row spacing. The JX High Clearance also includes all the features of the standard JX range, including a comfortable operator platform, easy to read instrumentation and, in cab versions, a powerful climate control system for the ultimate in comfort.

Its fully synchronised gears and shuttle lever make for predictable and safe manoeuvring within the 12 forward and 12 reverse gears. The addition of eight creep gears guarantees a speed for every task. Instead of electronic switches, the design is simplified with low effort mechanical levers for positive, direct control over every function for simple, yet practical operation. A dedicated left hand SynchroShuttle provides easy directional changes during forklift operation.

The JX High Clearance joined Case IH Tractors' existing line-up of tractors designed for horticulture and vegetable growing operations, including the Puma CVT, Maxxum, JXU, Quantum C and Maxxfarm 60.

The versatile Case IH JXU tractor range comes in four models ranging from 86 hp to 113 hp. JXU increases productivity in row crop operations by putting eight speeds at your fingertips and eliminating lever controlled gear changes. The left-hand power shuttle with wet clutch provides fingertip shuttle operations for true efficiency. The JXU range is available with a 20x20 creeper transmission.
