MultiControl Armrest Puts Functions at Your Fingertips
The new, optional MultiControl Armrest console brings all vital tractor operations
within easy reach, with the handle itself containing six key tractor functions literally at
the operator's fingertips. Handle functions include engine speed, transmission gear,
forward/reverse shuttle, hydraulic remote, hitch, and automatic end-of-row function.
“The Case IH Maxxum tractor now joins the larger Puma®, Magnum™ and
Steiger® Series tractors with the latest in Case IH operator control technology," says
Dave Bogan, Maxxum marketing manager. This allows the Maxxum tractor to offer the
same ease of operation that the larger Case IH tractors have today -- making it easy for
operators to move from one tractor to another.” The MultiControl armrest console was
developed with extensive producer input throughout its development. This customer-
driven process incorporated the suggestions of producers across North America, and
resulted in 80 percent of operators' typical motions being located within the palm of their
hand.
An integrated electro-hydraulic joystick option is also available, for easy front-end
loader work with less fatigue. Operators have also found the integral joystick works very
well when used in conjunction with rear hydraulic remotes, for easy operation of rear
implements such pull-type mower conditioners, or any rear implement that involves
feathering or frequent use of hydraulic remotes.
The MultiControl Armrest also features an integrated control pad for comfortable,
comprehensive tractor control of less frequently used functions within arm's reach. The
pressure-sensitive touchpad includes functions for constant engine speed, auto PTO
and auto shift, along with hitch position control.
Maxxum MultiController models also feature a new instrument cluster, displaying
fuel and engine temperature gauges, a warning light panel, transmission display and
general operational information, located within the operator's natural line of sight at the
right front cab corner post.

Maxxum tractor models utilize Case IH Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology
to meet the latest governmental emission standards and enhance engine performance.
“SCR technology not only meets these emissions standards, but also improves
fuel economy and overall engine performance, which makes these multi-purpose
tractors an even better asset on the farm,” says Bogan. "SCR allows us to bring in cool,
clean intake air, which lets the engine perform at its best."
Unlike Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR), SCR technology routes clean and cool
air to the engine without the need for EGR coolers or filters. SCR allows Case IH to fine-
tune the engine combustion process for improved fuel efficiency, lower engine
temperatures, increased reliability and longer maintenance intervals.
The new 2012 Maxxum series also features standard power boost, which
provides additional engine power of up to 25 horsepower to maintain optimal working
speeds, while handling tough crop conditions or heavy loads. The PTO, hydraulics and
transport power boost have become standards of Maxxum tractor performance. In
addition, compared to previous models, the new Maxxum Series achieves standard
PTO speeds at a lower engine RPM for enhanced fuel economy in PTO applications.
Hydraulic Enhancements
The new base Maxxum features a new open-center hydraulic system delivering 18
gallon-per-minute (70L/min) hydraulic flow, 26 percent more flow than the previous
Maxxum "value" series models. This enhanced, higher-flow open center hydraulic
system also features standard flow-control dials located at the rear remotes.
Optional Pressure Flow Compensating (PFC) hydraulics with 26 gallon-per-minute
(100L/min) flow capability and in-cab flow control is available as an option in the new
Maxxum base models, while standard in the new Maxxum MultiController models. New
deluxe remotes, standard with the PFC hydraulic system, offer higher flow at an
individual remote, along with an enhanced sealing design for improved long-term
reliability.
