The Puma CVX 180 carries a water-cooled six-cylinder diesel engine of 6,750 cm³, producing 160 kW (215 hp) at 1,800 rpm. Power runs through a continuously variable transmission which, in this version, is rated for 50 km/h but can be reduced to a lower top speed. The tyres are 540/65 R30 at the front and 650/65 R42 at the rear.
With 160 kW and a continuously variable transmission, the Puma CVX 180 ranks among the powerful multi-purpose tractors designed to combine heavy tillage, trailer work at 50 km/h and precise, load-independent forward speed for drilling or spraying work; the stepless transmission allows travel speed to be matched to the power required without a gear change.
When buying a Puma CVX used, the condition of the continuously variable transmission matters most, since repairs to it are costlier than to a conventional gearbox, along with the service history for oil and hydraulic fluid changes. Also worth checking are the tyres in the sizes noted above, the tightness of the cooling system on the large six-cylinder engine, and the function of the transmission electronics.
