CaseIH Optum 270

Last Updated: June 2024

Overview

The CaseIH Optum 270 is a powerful row-crop tractor designed for efficiency and productivity in agricultural operations. With a 4x4 MFWD 4WD chassis and power steering, operators experience enhanced maneuverability and control in a variety of field conditions. The heart of the Optum 270 is its robust engine manufactured by FPT, featuring a 6-cylinder liquid-cooled design with a displacement of 410.6 cubic inches, capable of delivering a rated power output of 271 hp and a maximum power output of 290 hp. The continuously variable transmission (CVT) ensures smooth and seamless power delivery, with infinite gears in both forward and reverse ranges to adapt to numerous tasks. The tractor's substantial operating weight of 23,149 lbs provides stability and traction, while the standard ag tires—420/85R24 in the front and 480/80R50 in the rear—offer excellent grip and field preservation. The hydraulic system employs a closed center pressure flow compensating (PFC) design, making it well-suited for precise operations demanding consistent hydraulic flow. With Tier IV emissions regulations adherence through selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology and a high-pressure common rail direct injection fuel system, the Optum 270 exemplifies modern, environmentally conscious engineering. Overall, the Optum 270 combines ample power, advanced technological features, and a comfortable cab environment to deliver efficient and reliable performance in the day-to-day workings of modern farms.
