ENGINE DETAIL

The Case RC tractor features a Waukesha gasoline 4-cylinder engine with a moderate displacement of 132.7ci (2.2L), which benefits from an efficient liquid-cooling system to maintain optimal operating temperatures during extended use. With a bore and stroke of 3.25x4.00 inches (83x102mm), it offers a balanced power-to-size ratio, but the relatively low rated RPM of 1425 may limit maximum output performance compared to higher RPM engines. The oil bath air cleaner enhances filtration and engine longevity, but attention should be given to oil and coolant capacities (5 quarts and 17 quarts, respectively) for routine maintenance to ensure reliability in various agricultural scenarios.

J.I. CASE RC ENGINE

The Case RC tractor is equipped with a Waukesha 2.2L 4-cylinder gasoline engine, delivering a balance of power and fuel efficiency for light to moderate agricultural tasks. The 15-gallon (56.8L) fuel tank provides ample operational time, making it suitable for extended fieldwork without frequent refueling. However, gasoline engines may have higher operating costs compared to diesel counterparts, especially in large-scale applications.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Case RC tractor features a 3-speed gear system that allows for efficient operation in low-torque scenarios, beneficial for tasks requiring precision, such as tilling. The 4-speed gear option provides enhanced versatility across varied terrains, offering higher torque suitable for heavy-duty applications like plowing. Considering your operational needs, the choice between 3-speed and 4-speed could significantly impact productivity and fuel efficiency.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Case RC tractor features a four-speed gearbox, offering three forward gears and one reverse, which enhances operational versatility. The gearbox's design, standardized in 1939, provides a robust mechanical advantage for a variety of field tasks, but may require familiarity for optimal gear selection. Potential challenges include limited speed adjustment in steep terrain due to the fixed gearing, necessitating careful handling under varying load conditions.

TRANSMISSION 2

The Case RC tractor features a 4-forward and 1-reverse gear configuration, allowing for optimal speed management across various terrains. This simplicity in gearing aids in ease of operation, particularly for less experienced users, while still providing sufficient flexibility for tasks such as plowing or hauling. However, the limited number of gears might pose challenges in high-demand applications requiring precise speed adjustments.

J.I. CASE RC TRANSMISSIONS

The Case RC tractor with a 3-speed gear system offers simplicity in operation, which is beneficial for users needing less complexity in varied farming tasks. Conversely, the 4-speed gear option provides enhanced versatility and better control over speed and torque, especially for tasks requiring precision like plowing or cultivating. However, the increased complexity of the 4-speed system may necessitate additional operator training or experience to maximize its benefits.

MECHANICAL

The Case RC tractor features a two-wheel drive system, which enhances its maneuverability but can limit traction in adverse conditions. The manual steering provides operator control but may require more effort compared to power steering, particularly in tight spaces. The bull gear final drive is advantageous for heavy-duty applications, offering robust torque transmission, yet it may result in higher mechanical wear if not properly maintained.

J.I. CASE RC TIRES

The Case RC tractor features robust Ag front tires (6x20.5) that enhance stability and maneuverability, while the Ag rear tires (6x48) provide superior traction for heavy loads, making it suited for demanding agricultural tasks. The use of steel tires improves durability but may increase weight, potentially affecting fuel efficiency. Operators should consider the trade-off between enhanced traction and potential soil compaction when operating in sensitive environments.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The Case RC tractor's weight of 4045 lbs enhances ground stability, making it suitable for various terrains; however, it may limit portability and require robust transport mechanisms. The front tire size of 5x15 provides agility, making it effective in tight spaces, while the larger rear tire size of 10x38 improves traction and weight distribution, especially for plowing and heavy-duty applications. It's ideal for tasks that demand a balance between maneuverability and power, such as row crop farming or medium-scale land cultivation.
