ENGINES OVERVIEW

The Case 570 tractor is equipped with two engine options: a 2.6L 4-cylinder gasoline engine, offering lighter weight and quicker starts, and a more robust 3.1L 4-cylinder diesel variant that provides enhanced torque and fuel efficiency. The gasoline engine is suitable for light agricultural tasks, while the diesel option excels in heavy-duty applications, presenting a challenge in fuel availability for operators in certain regions. Consider the operational context and fuel resources when choosing between these engine types for optimal performance.

ENGINE DETAIL 1

The Case 570 tractor features a 4-cylinder gasoline engine with a displacement of 158.7 cubic inches (2.6L), delivering reliable power for various agricultural and construction tasks. With a bore and stroke of 3.50x4.125 inches (89x105 mm) and a relatively low compression ratio of 7.42:1, it offers moderate torque at a rated RPM of 1900, making it suitable for consistent, low-speed operations. However, the limited RPM range may challenge performance in high-demand scenarios, while the 14-quart (13.2L) coolant capacity ensures effective thermal management during extended use.

ENGINE DETAIL 2

The Case 570 tractor features a robust 3.1L diesel engine with a high compression ratio of 17.5:1, enhancing fuel efficiency and torque output, crucial for heavy-duty applications. Its oil bath air cleaner offers superior filtration, reducing maintenance frequency, while the 1900 RPM rated speed ensures adequate power for various farming tasks. However, the relatively low RPM may limit its performance in high-speed applications, necessitating careful consideration for specific operational scenarios.

J.I. CASE 570 ENGINES

The Case 570 tractor offers a choice between a 2.6L gasoline and a 3.1L diesel engine, allowing for flexibility depending on operational needs. The 22-gallon (83.3L) fuel tank provides extended run time, particularly beneficial for extensive fieldwork. However, the gasoline variant may have lower torque and fuel efficiency compared to the diesel option, which could impact performance in heavy-duty applications.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Case 570 tractor features an 8-speed gear system with a mechanical shuttle, providing flexibility for various field operations and enhanced control during directional changes. The 4-speed gear allows for optimal power management, enabling efficient operation in diverse terrain. However, the complexity of the 8-speed transmission may present challenges in operator training and maintenance.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Case 570 tractor features a geared transmission with 4 forward and 1 reverse gear, offering straightforward operation for various agricultural tasks. The limited gear range could be advantageous for simplicity and reliability in light-duty applications, but may pose challenges in situations requiring precise speed control or varied terrain handling. It's ideally suited for smaller farms or tasks like loader operations, where speed variability is less critical.

Gears 4 forward and 1 reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The Case 570 tractor features an 8-speed forward and 2-speed reverse gear configuration, allowing for versatile operation across various terrains and applications. This transmission setup provides a good balance between speed and torque, enhancing efficiency for tasks such as plowing or hauling. However, the limited number of reverse gears may present challenges in maneuverability in tight spaces, necessitating careful planning during operation.

Gears 8 forward and 2 reverse

TRANSMISSION 3

The Case 570 tractor with a mechanical shuttle offers 8 forward and reverse gears, providing a robust range for various applications including landscaping and agricultural tasks. The mechanical shuttle allows for smooth transitions between forward and reverse without the need to clutch, enhancing productivity in tight spaces. Considerations should include the potential for more mechanical wear compared to hydrostatic systems, which may limit some users in highly variable terrain scenarios.

MECHANICAL

The Case 570 tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, making it suitable for flat terrains but less effective in adverse conditions compared to 4WD models. The hydrostatic power steering enhances maneuverability, especially in tight spaces, while the 4-speed transmission offers basic versatility, with the optional 8-speed gear and mechanical shuttle providing improved efficiency for varied field tasks. However, the open operator station may expose the driver to harsh weather conditions and potential safety hazards.
