ENGINE DETAIL

The Case 1370 features a robust 6-cylinder diesel engine with a 8.3L displacement and increased power output due to higher RPMs, enhancing its performance for heavy-duty applications. Its two-stage dry air cleaner facilitates optimal airflow, while a high compression ratio of 16.5:1 promotes efficient combustion, translating to improved torque and fuel efficiency. However, maintenance of the cooling system (42qts capacity) and oil (14.9qts capacity) is critical to prevent overheating, especially during prolonged operations in demanding conditions.

TRANSMISSION

The Case 1370 tractor features a partial power shift transmission with 12 forward and 3 reverse gears, offering versatility in speed and torque management for various agricultural tasks. A notable advantage is the smoother gear transitions, enhancing operator comfort during fieldwork. However, the complexity of the transmission may require more maintenance compared to simpler gear systems, potentially leading to increased downtime if problems arise.

Type	partial power shift
Gears	12 forward and 3 reverse

MECHANICAL

The Case 1370 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which enhances maneuverability but limits traction in adverse conditions. Its hydraulic differential lock can provide better traction on uneven terrain, while the hydrostatic power steering offers improved control and responsiveness. The 12-speed partial power shift transmission enhances versatility, making it suitable for various agricultural tasks but may require more operator skill to fully utilize its potential.
