Features of the AFS Pro 700 also allows you to see the tractor’s performance level, and to easily adjust it for settings of different implements, and customise different screens to showcase the information that is important to you.

The ICP performance cluster (on the tractor’s A Pillar) of these Case tractors for sale will also tell the driver everything there is to know in terms of engine speed, brake position and actual ground speed to name but a few examples.

Low noise levels, the panoramic view, an automatic air conditioner and a carpeted floor (in the Luxury Cab options) are just some of the outstanding features you can expect to find in the interior.
