TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Case 2290 tractor features an 8-speed and 12-speed partial power shift transmission, providing versatile gear selection for various field conditions and operational demands. The advantages include smoother transitions between gears and improved fuel efficiency under varying loads. However, operators may face a learning curve to fully optimize the partial power shift capabilities, especially when shifting under load.

Description 8-speed 12-speed partial power shift

TRANSMISSION 1

The Case 2290 tractor features an 8-speed forward and 4-speed reverse transmission system, providing operators with enhanced versatility in varying field conditions. The multiple gear options allow for optimal speed and torque management, making it suitable for tasks ranging from heavy tillage to light-duty work. A potential challenge could be the learning curve for operators unfamiliar with multi-speed transmissions, requiring practice to maximize the machine's efficiency.

Gears 8 forward and 4 reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The Case 2290 tractor features a partial power shift transmission, allowing for efficient gear shifting without requiring a complete stop, thereby enhancing productivity in the field. With 12 forward and 3 reverse gears, it provides versatility for various tasks ranging from tillage to hauling, although the limited number of reverse gears may challenge maneuverability in tight spaces. This transmission system offers a balance between ease of use and power management, making it suitable for both agricultural and light industrial applications.

Gears 12 forward and 3 reverse

MECHANICAL

The Case 2290 tractor offers a choice between 2WD and 4WD configurations, enhancing versatility for various field conditions. Its hydrostatic power steering allows for improved maneuverability, while the differential hydraulic wet disc brakes provide reliable stopping power even in challenging environments. The silent Guardian cab with air-conditioning ensures operator comfort, supporting extended work hours, though the 12-speed partial power shift transmission could require a learning curve for optimal gear selection.
