ENGINE DETAIL

The Case 2090 features a robust 8.3L 6-cylinder diesel engine with a compression ratio of 16.0:1, ensuring efficient combustion and optimal torque, particularly beneficial for heavy-duty applications. With a bore and stroke of 4.625x5.00 inches, the engine design supports good power delivery at a rated RPM of 2100, making it suitable for tasks requiring sustained performance. However, the relatively substantial coolant capacity of 38 quarts can pose challenges in maintenance and weight management, particularly during transport or operation in tight spaces.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Case 2090 features a 12-speed partial power shift transmission, offering flexibility in speed selection and improved efficiency during varying field operations. This design allows for seamless gear changes under load, which enhances productivity but may require careful operator skill to maximize its potential. Its 8-speed option provides a balance of simplicity and effectiveness, ideal for tasks that do not require extensive speed variation.

Description 12-speed partial power shift 8-speed

TRANSMISSION 1

The Case 2090 tractor features a partial power shift transmission with 12 forward and 3 reverse gears, allowing for efficient speed control across various applications. The low-medium-high power shift enhances operational versatility, enabling seamless transitions between gears under load, which is advantageous in fieldwork scenarios. However, operators should be mindful of potential learning curves in mastering the gear selection for optimal performance.

Type partial power shift
Gears 12 forward and 3 reverse
Description Four gears and reverse with a low-medium-high power shift.

TRANSMISSION 2

The Case 2090 tractor features an 8-speed forward and 2-speed reverse transmission, with a range that facilitates optimal torque and speed management, enhancing productivity in varying field conditions. Its four dedicated gears (low and high ranges) allow for efficient power distribution, making it suitable for tasks requiring both precision and speed. However, the limited number of reverse gears may pose challenges in maneuverability during tighter operations or when backing up in confined spaces.

Gears 8 forward and 2 reverse
Description Four gears with low, high, and reverse ranges.

MECHANICAL

The Case 2090 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, providing better fuel efficiency on dry surfaces but less traction in challenging terrains. The hydrostatic power steering enhances maneuverability, while the differential hydraulic wet disc brakes improve safety and braking performance. Its 12-speed partial power shift transmission allows for versatile speed management, ideal for varying job requirements, though it may necessitate operator training to optimize use.
