ENGINE DETAIL

The Case 350 tractor's 4-cylinder gasoline engine offers a moderate displacement of 2.7L with a comparatively low compression ratio of 7.25:1, making it suitable for lighter agricultural tasks. A torque peak of 136 lb-ft at 1300 RPM indicates good low-end performance, essential for tasks requiring initial draw, yet the engine's rated RPM of 1900 may limit high-speed applications. The oil bath air cleaner provides durability in dusty environments, but regular maintenance of this system is crucial to maintain engine efficiency and longevity.

J.I. CASE 350 ENGINE

The Case 350 tractor features a J.I. Case 2.7L 4-cylinder gasoline engine, providing adequate power for light to moderate agricultural tasks. Its 18.4-gallon (69.6 liters) fuel tank allows for extended operation without frequent refueling, beneficial for large plots or long-duration tasks. However, the gasoline engine may be less fuel-efficient compared to diesel alternatives, potentially increasing operational costs over extensive use.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Case 350 tractor is equipped with a 12-speed transmission, allowing for enhanced versatility in varying field conditions, and a 4-speed gear option that optimizes power delivery and efficiency at lower speeds. This configuration aids operators in achieving precise control over speed and torque, which can be particularly beneficial in applications like plowing or tilling. However, the complexity of the 12-speed system may require more maintenance and operator training compared to simpler transmission setups.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Case 350 tractor's Tripl-Range transmission with 12 forward and 3 reverse gears enhances versatility for various applications, allowing precise speed control across different terrains. The three ranges per gear (low, direct, high) provide optimal torque and power management, which is particularly advantageous for tasks requiring careful maneuverability, such as plowing or grading. However, operators may need to invest time in mastering the gear selection to maximize efficiency and prevent potential gear grinding issues during operation.

Gears 12 forward and 3 reverse
Description Four gears (1-4) plus reverse (R), with three ranges per gear (low, direct, high).

TRANSMISSION 2

The Case 350 tractor features a simple geartrain with 4 forward speeds and 1 reverse gear, providing adequate versatility for a variety of agricultural tasks. The limited number of gears may restrict optimal performance on hilly terrain or during tasks requiring frequent speed adjustments. However, the straightforward transmission design can enhance reliability and ease of maintenance, making it suitable for basic farming operations.

Gears 4 forward and 1 reverse

MECHANICAL

The Case 350 tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, providing basic traction suitable for flat terrain but may struggle in muddy or hilly conditions. Its power steering enhances maneuverability, while the disc brake system offers reliable stopping power for increased safety during operation. The 12-speed gear transmission allows for versatile speed management, making it ideal for various agricultural tasks but may require operator familiarity to optimize efficiency.

J.I. CASE 350 TIRES

The Case 350 tractor is equipped with agricultural front tires sized 7.50-16 and rear tires 11-28, providing a balance between traction and stability for diverse farming tasks. The larger rear tires enhance load-bearing capacity, which is beneficial for plowing or heavy-duty applications, while the front tires ensure maneuverability. A potential challenge is the limited flotation on wet or soft ground, which could lead to soil compaction or stuck scenarios if not managed with proper tire pressure adjustments.
