J.I. CASE CF 400 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Case CF 400 tractor features an Indenor XDP85 diesel engine known for its reliable 40hp output at 2500 RPM, making it suitable for medium-duty applications like tilling and plowing. Its compression ratio of 21:1 enhances fuel efficiency but may contribute to increased thermal stress, necessitating regular maintenance of the oil bath air cleaner and coolant system to prevent overheating. With a compact 1.8L engine displacement, it's ideal for small farming operations or light industrial tasks, though users should plan for a limited oil capacity of 4.2 quarts, potentially requiring more frequent oil changes.
