You definitely need some sort of coolant conditioner if you're running straight water. Few things are more corrosive than hot water. Premixed coolants are available from JD and Caterpillar and they work extremely well and obviously are easier to use than mixing antifreeze and water. These premixes are ready-to-run and require no addition additives. The additive package in antifreeze will eventually "wear out", just as it does in oil. Your local IH dealer or over-the-road truck dealer should have a coolant test kit with strips you dip in to determine freeze point, PH and nitrate level. Cummins (Fleetgard) pushes these test kits pretty hard, and as Case-IH uses a lot of Cummins power, I'm thinking they should have the kits. This should be checked on at least a yearly basis and coolant conditioner added as required. Be careful to add the proper amount, as too much can be as bad as too little. Not only are these additives important for preventing electrolysis and cavitation, but they also help protect water pump seals and other coolant related components.
