Calle, November 2018. Case IH has commissioned development of the air brake system for the Quadtrac 540 CVX track tractor with Dipl.-Ing. Tietjen GmbH. The retrofit kit is available immediately and can be fitted by specialist dealer workshops.

Despite the enormous size of the Quadtrac flagship, engineers at Dipl.-Ing. Tietjen GmbH found it a challenge to integrate all of the components of the retrofit kit, approx. 100 parts, into the existing geometry from the engine compartment to the front. A number of other components had to be assembled in the narrow engine compartment next to the air compressor. Regarding the complex extra electrics, developers worked side by side with Case IH experts and got all the information from them about how to integrate new electrical elements into the existing electrical system.

All the installation steps are documented in the assembly manual including detailed descriptions and diagrams. Workshop dealers can install the retrofit kit with pre-assembled modules, colour-coded connectors and electric components quickly and easily.

Norbert Zehne, Product Manager tractors at Case IH, Germany: “For decades, our Case IH tractor brand has put its trust in the technical solutions of Dipl.-Ing. Tietjen GmbH. Our customers, dealers and ourselves as manufacturer appreciate the quality and flexibility of compressed air specialist Tietjen, especially in After Sales.”

The retrofit kit is available immediately from the Tietjen Online Catalogue.
