ENGINE DETAIL
The Case 25-45 tractor features a robust 4-cylinder kerosene engine with a significant displacement of 641 ci (10.5 L), allowing for high torque delivery, ideal for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. With a bore and stroke of 5.50x6.75 inches, the engine design optimizes low-end power, but the hand-crank starter may pose challenges in cold weather or for inexperienced operators. This tractor is best suited for scenarios requiring reliable power in stationary applications or low-speed operations, where its mechanical simplicity can be an advantage over more modern systems.

J.I. CASE 25-45 ENGINE
The Case 25-45 tractor features a robust 10.5L 4-cylinder kerosene engine, which provides efficient fuel combustion and notable torque output, ideal for heavy agricultural tasks. One advantage of using kerosene is its clean-burning nature, potentially leading to lower emissions and reduced engine deposits. However, proper starting procedures and fuel management must be maintained, especially in colder climates, to prevent operational challenges.

TRANSMISSION
The Case 25-45 tractor's gear transmission with 2 forward and 1 reverse gear provides straightforward operation suitable for light-duty tasks. This simplicity can lead to easier maintenance but may limit speed variability and operational flexibility in varied conditions. Ideal for small farms or garden work, users might find the restricted gear options a challenge in more demanding applications.

MECHANICAL
The Case 25-45 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which enhances maneuverability but limits traction on uneven or slippery terrain. Its manual steering provides simplicity and direct control, yet may require more effort during prolonged use. The 2-speed gear transmission allows for versatility in different operational scenarios, although it may not cater to tasks requiring a broad range of speed variations.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Case 25-45 tractor boasts a substantial operating weight of 10,065 lbs (4565 kg), which enhances ground stability and traction, especially in challenging terrain. However, this weight may limit maneuverability in confined spaces and require a suitable towing vehicle for transport. Appropriate soil compaction and load distribution practices are essential to optimize its performance in agricultural applications.
