CASEIH 2120 ENGINE
The CaseIH 2120 tractor is powered by a SLH 3.0L 3-cylinder diesel engine, offering efficient fuel consumption ideal for small to medium-scale agriculture tasks. The 15.85-gallon (60.0L) fuel tank provides an adequate range for extended operation without frequent refueling, enhancing productivity. However, the smaller engine size may limit power output and torque for heavier applications, making it more suitable for lighter tillage or loading work rather than demanding tasks like plowing large fields.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The CaseIH 2120 tractor features an 8-speed partially synchronized transmission alongside a 12-speed partially synchronized option, allowing for smooth gear shifts while maintaining power efficiency. This setup enhances versatility in varying field conditions and operational speeds, making it an asset for both tillage and transport tasks. However, operators may find a learning curve in mastering the synchronization, particularly in high-torque scenarios, potentially leading to increased wear if not managed properly.

TRANSMISSION 1
The CaseIH 2120 tractor features a partially synchronized transmission with 8 forward and reverse gears, which provides versatility for various farming tasks, but requires the use of the clutch for shifting, leading to potential downtime during operations. The mechanical shuttle lever enhances directional control, but operators must stop to change ranges, potentially impacting workflow efficiency. With distinct oil capacities for 2WD and 4WD, ensuring proper lubrication is critical to maintain performance and extend the lifespan of the tractor's drivetrain components.

| Gear | 8 forward and reverse |
| Clutc | 280mm dry disc |
| 2WD Oil capacit | 38qts / 36.0L |
| 4WD Oil capacit | 40.2qts / 38.0L |
| Description | Four synchronized gears (1-4) in two ranges (I/II) with right-hand mechanical shuttle lever. Clutch must be used to shift direction or gear. Tractor must be stopped, and clutch used, to shift range |
SPEEDS 1
| Description | With 13.6-28 rear tires. Reverse speeds are 15% slower than forward |
TRANSMISSION 2
The CaseIH 2120 tractor features a partially synchronized transmission with 12 forward and reverse gears, which enhances operational flexibility but requires stopping to change gears or ranges, potentially affecting productivity. The 280mm dry disc clutch is effective for robust engagement, yet could pose challenges in wear under heavy loads. Its oil capacities of 38 quarts for 2WD and 40.2 quarts for 4WD support efficient lubrication but necessitate regular maintenance checks to prevent overheating or mechanical failure.

CASEIH 2120 TRANSMISSIONS
The CaseIH 2120 tractor features an 8-speed partially synchronized transmission, which provides smooth shifting and better control for various field operations, making it ideal for tasks requiring precision. The additional 12-speed partially synchronized option enhances versatility and adaptability, particularly in diverse agricultural scenarios or when managing varying load conditions. However, operators may find the learning curve steep due to the complexity of managing multiple gears effectively.

MECHANICAL
The CaseIH 2120 tractor's hydrostatic power steering enhances maneuverability, making it suitable for diverse agricultural tasks and tight spaces. The optional cab provides increased operator comfort and protection, while the wet disc brakes ensure reliable stopping power in both two- or four-wheel drive configurations. A potential challenge lies in the hydraulic trailer brake system, which requires proper maintenance to avoid performance issues during heavy towing scenarios.

CASEIH 2120 TIRES
The CaseIH 2120 tractor offers various configurations in 2WD and 4WD, catering to diverse farming needs. The 2120V and 2120E models feature different tire sizes, affecting traction and stability; for instance, the 4WD setup significantly enhances off-road capability and traction in challenging conditions. Users should consider the trade-off between tire widths and potential soil compaction, as narrower tires can lead to less soil disturbance while broader tires may improve flotation on softer ground.
