Case IH Farm Optum 270
Optum™ Series Optum 270

Features
Ready to Meet Your Needs
Optum series tractors are designed to meet the customer needs for dimensions, power, comfort, hydraulic capacity, and weight. With this flexibility the Optum tractor fits well with the below applications:
- Haulage - It's power, reactive steering, suspended axle and suspended cab are perfect for haulage
- Tillage - Its power meets the demands of many tillage practices
- Planting & Seeding - Its hydraulic capabilities can run planters and seeders
- Hay& Forage - Optum tractors are also well suited for the commercial hay producer, running triple mowers and large square balers
Proven Engine Performance
The proven 6.7L engines are built to produce power for the toughest field conditions. Reinforced material can handle anything the Optum will put this engine through.
- When specific conditions are met, the engine will idle at a lower speed to conserve fuel
- Industry-Leading SCR-Only Efficient Power Technology Proven, simple, single system solution to meet emissions standards without compromising fuel efficiency
Reliable CVT Transmission
The CVT is a reliable transmission for infinite ground speed control that delivers the power to the ground in field and road applications, while allowing for maximum fuel efficiency by managing the engine RPM and transmission speed. The CVT transmission features:
- Four forward ranges and two reverse ranges
- Double clutch technology for smooth and efficient operation
- Automatic mode saves fuel and allows the operator to focus on other tasks
- Automatic range shift maximizes mechanical efficiency
- Active stop feature allows for ease of starting and stopping tractor, especially on inclines
- Built-in creeper speeds
Axle Design That Keeps Power to the Ground
Front Axle
- Standard class 4.75 suspended front axle provides a better ride and improves productivity with better traction, allowing more acres to be covered in a work day
- Durable and reliable outboard planetary design keeps power to the ground and delivers a high carrying capacity for added performance
- Can be fitted with front duel wheels for additional traction and floatation
Rear Axle
- Three bar axle choices allow for several choices in wheel spacing for flexibility between crop types
- Dual rear wheels are available for additional traction and flotation
Operator Environment
The SurroundVision™ Cab has 85 cu. ft. of space with 63.2 sq. ft. of glass for all around visibility. Adding to the comfort of the cab is the MultiControl armrest and handle with all the major functions at the operator’s fingertips, allowing more productivity. Best-in-class seat options provide the ultimate operator comfort.
Cab Suspension
Included in base equipment, cab suspension provides the operator with a more comfortable ride, reducing fatigue and stress, especially when paired with a suspended front axle.
LED Lighting
The Optum tractor offers 8 (standard), 12 or 14 high power LED lighting packages to meet the lighting needs and operator preferences. LED lights provide greater intensity over a longer life compared to halogen lights
Deluxe Seat Option
- The deluxe seat features a low frequency suspension and a dynamic dampening system with automatic shock absorbers to avoid bottoming out the seat
- The backrest extension will swivel with the operator for added comfort
- The seats come in fabric and leather option, with the leather option offering a heated and passively ventilated seat
Active Leather Seat Option
- The active leather seat combines active suspension, dynamic dampening system, and active air pressure to make adjustments automatically for in-field operation or roading
- An accelerometer senses seat motions to better hold the driver in an absolute position for a more comfortable ride
- The new active leather seat has a backrest which is adjustable up and down and offers a heated and active ventilated seat
Hydraulics, Hitch & PTO
Hydraulic Pumps
Optum tractors offer large hydraulic pump options for performance at lower engine RPMs, designed to help operators save fuel.
- Options include, 4 (standard) or 5 (optional) electronic remote valves with one optional power beyond couplers
- Maximum flow at the remotes: 43.6 gpm (165 L/min) or optional 58 gpm (220 L/min) PFC hydraulic pump
- Maximum flow available at 1 remote: 37 gpm (140 L/min)
Hitch Options
Rear Hitch
- Several rear hitch options offer the flexibility to meet the needs of many demanding three-point hitch applications
- The rear 3-point hitch has a lift capacity of 19,180 lbs (8,700 kg)
Front Hitch
- Front hitch options allow solutions for triple mowers and other implements to be mounted to the front of the tractor to cover more acres per hour
- The front hitch has a lift capacity of 9,700 lbs (4,400 kg)
PTO Options
4-Speed Rear PTO:
- Optum tractors are equipped with an in-cab, electronically shiftable 4-speed rear PTO. The four PTO speeds include 540, 540E, 1000, 1000E for maximum productivity, versatility and efficiency. The economy PTO speeds are fuel saving features for maintaining PTO speed at a lower engine speed
2-Speed Front PTO:
- Optum tractors have an option for an in-cab, electronically shiftable 2-speed front PTO. The front PTO option includes 1000/1000E for fuel saving, helping customers use less fuel per acre
