[USA] New look for the Case IH Patriot

Little known on our side of the Atlantic, the Patriot range consists of modular self-propelled machines, capable of changing from a solid spreading module to a spraying unit.

With its three new Patriot 3250, 4350 and 4450 models, Case IH offers devices from 3,000 to 6,000 liters of capacity with booms from 18 to 42 meters with AutoBoom ground tracking. Big cumbersome and above all too wide on the road, the Patriot 50 series cannot be satisfied in Western European countries. It is therefore intended only for North and South American markets, but also for Oceania or Eastern Europe. By imitating the latest tractors on the design side, the hood located in front of the cabin inherited from the last articulated Steiger and Quadtrac is grafted with large black nostrils, to suck the air necessary for the engine to operate (6.7 liters on the 3250 and 8, 7 liters on the 4350 and 4450) of 285, 335 and 390 hp.

On board, we find the codes of the last large tractors of the brand, with more opulent and ergonomic materials and a more attractive armrest, the end of which is combined with the Multicontroller joystick updated in 2019 with the new Magnums. It is a standard on the Patriot 50 series and the various AFS guidance systems already known within the brand allow operations to be supervised, in particular the advanced spraying technology AIM Command FLEX Optional II, which incorporates independent nozzle control to ensure precise and localized product application, taking into account GPS and mapping parameters. This technology optimizes application rates and droplet size for consistent application, regardless of speed and soil conditions.

With six operating modes, AIM Command FLEX II offers flexible and precise application, even in turns, rough terrain and irregularly shaped fields. Plus, nozzle control valves allow for higher flow, allowing you to spray at even faster speeds or apply more material as needed.
