The Case IH Puma is a middle range of Case IH tractors, launched in 2006. The old post that led to this page was a general Case IH record taken over by the Puma.

History of the Case IH Puma
2006
The Puma range was launched in 2006, the same year that most Case IH tractor production at Basildon in England moved to the Steyr factory at St Valentin in Austria. Since then the European Case IH tractors have largely come from that Austrian plant, while the biggest machines are built in the United States.
Where the Puma sits
Case IH names its most famous equipment as the Axial-Flow combines, the Magnum, the Steiger and the Farmall tractors. The Puma fills the gap between the Maxxum and the Magnum, which makes it the upper middle of the range: bigger than a general farm tractor, smaller than the big Magnum.
What is not here
The sources used for this page do not set out the Puma’s engines, transmissions or outputs, so the page does not state them. Photos of the range from Wikimedia Commons are used instead, with captions that say what the machines actually are.
