ENGINE DETAIL
The CaseIH 235 tractor is equipped with a 3-cylinder Mitsubishi diesel engine, providing 18 hp at 2700 RPM, which is well-suited for light agricultural tasks and small property management. Its dry type cyclone air cleaner promotes efficient operation in dusty environments; however, limited oil and coolant capacities (3.2 qts oil and 5.2 qts coolant) may necessitate more frequent maintenance checks, potentially adding to operational costs. Ideal for small-scale farming or gardening, the compact 0.8 L displacement ensures fuel efficiency, but users should be aware that low power output may limit its capabilities on larger areas or heavy-duty tasks.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The CaseIH 235 tractor features a 6-speed hydrostatic transmission, providing seamless speed adjustments and enhanced maneuverability for various agricultural applications. This system allows for precise control in both forward and reverse directions, making it advantageous for tasks requiring fine positioning, such as tilling or planting. However, operators may face challenges with potential overheating in heavy-duty scenarios, necessitating optimal maintenance practices to ensure longevity and performance.
| Description | 6-speed/hydrostatic |
TRANSMISSION 1
The CaseIH 235 tractor features a 6-speed forward and 2-speed reverse gear system, providing versatility for various agricultural tasks. The multiple gear options enable better control of speed and torque, facilitating efficient operation in diverse terrains and conditions. However, the relatively limited gear range may challenge operators seeking high-speed transport capabilities or precise slow-speed handling in specialized applications.
| Gears | 6 forward and 2 reverse |

| Description | With 8.00-18 rear tires |
TRANSMISSION 2
The CaseIH 235 tractor features a hydrostatic transmission that allows for infinite speed variation, providing smooth acceleration and deceleration, making it ideal for tasks requiring precision, such as mowing or certain implements. The two-range system enhances versatility, allowing the operator to switch between two sets of speeds, accommodating both high-torque and high-speed operations effectively. However, the complexity of hydrostatic systems may require more maintenance compared to traditional gear-driven transmissions, which could be a consideration for long-term operational costs.
