The Case IH Quadtrac 715 has been awarded Tractor of the Year in the High Power category at the EIMA International trade fair. The category is for models which deliver in excess of 300 hp.

The Quadtrac 715 is the new flagship of the Case IH range. In addition to the four track units, the model features a heavy-duty mechanical suspension with hydraulic cushioning, which has already won an EIMA Technical Innovation award.

Engines for the Quadtrac range come from the Cursor series produced by FPT Industrial. The most powerful of these can produce 778 hp and almost 3500 Nm of torque. Engines are Stage 5-compliant using maintenance-free aftertreatment systems.

There is also a choice of track sizes, with wider options useful for delivering traction in lose or wet terrain. Automatic track tensioning and maintenance-free bushings and pins help to maximise uptime.

“We’re pleased to see this recognition of our engineering team’s hard work in devising new capabilities for the Quadtrac that support large farms in maximising efficiency,” said Marco Lombardi, head of Case IH and Steyr brands, EMEA.

He continued: “As the originators of the four-tracked articulated tractor, we continue to develop this iconic design to meet the evolving challenges of large-scale agriculture. This is the most productive tractor Case IH has ever built, providing new levels of power, traction and hydraulic output that will help owners do more in less time and so drive down the total cost of ownership.”
