Case Ih Puma 240 Cvx Tractor Review
N D Harper Ltd review the CASE IH Puma 240 CVX
The CASE IH Puma 240 CVX in its current streamlined shape entered the market in mid-2021 and has been growing in popularity with both owners and operators ever since. So, after 12 months of use with N D Harper Ltd, an agricultural contracting business based in Cheshire, it was time to do a review with the tractor hire experts at ASHBROOK.
New for the 2022 growing season, the CASE IH Puma 240 CVX arrived with business ready to roll.
We spoke to the owner and an operator to get their views on moving to a hired red tractor!
Owner review of the Puma 240CVX
‘It was a bold move for us to come away from a brand we knew and trusted’, says Nigel Harper, MD. ‘ASHBROOK offered us an excellent deal on both the hire and the backup, which are vitally important when deciding how to up-scale our fleet for the busiest months. It would have been a missed opportunity not to take it’.
‘Having a fixed cost to our tractor hire brings peace of mind in terms of cash flow and we’re actually saving against cost of ownership, without a depreciating asset on our books’.
‘In terms of the tractors themselves, I’ve been really pleased with the fuel efficiency. In fact, we achieved a significant fuel saving with the new CASE IH tractors versus our previous John Deere’s, which was very welcome as fuel prices were so volatile in the last growing season.’
Operator review of the Puma 240CVX
Operator, Jamie Taylor, went on to add that ‘the Puma 240 is the best tractor I’ve ever had a plough on. The power-to-size ratio is great, the CVX transmission is beautifully balanced and it’s really easy to match the speed to the job. Previously, with the Deere’s there was a big jump between B4 and C1, which was wearing after a long day in the seat. The top-spec cab and ease of use mean I certainly wouldn’t want to go back’.
If you’d like to experience the Puma 240 CVX (or others) this season, contact ASHBROOK Ltd for long- or short-term tractor hire contracts. With nationwide pick-up from your nearest CASE IH dealer, it couldn’t be more straightforward to hire.
