TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The CaseIH 585XL features an 8-speed synchromesh gearbox complemented by a 16-speed two-speed power shift, providing flexibility and efficiency in various field operations. The two-speed power shift enhances torque management, making it ideal for tasks requiring frequent speed adjustments, such as plowing and tilling. However, operators may need some time to adapt to the shifting mechanisms, especially if accustomed to simpler transmission systems.

TRANSMISSION 1
The CaseIH 585XL features a synchromesh transmission with 8 forward and 4 reverse gears, enabling smooth shifting without the need for double-clutching, which enhances operational efficiency. The 280mm dry disc clutch provides durability but may require more maintenance under heavy-load scenarios. Ideal for diverse field applications, its gear range allows for versatility in speed control, though enclosed spaces may challenge maneuverability due to the number of forward gears.
| Type | synchromesh |
| Gears | 8 forward and 4 reverse |
| Clutch | 280mm dry disc |
| Description | Four synchronized gears in two ranges, plus reverse range |
TRANSMISSION 2
The CaseIH 585XL tractor features a two-speed power shift transmission with 16 forward and 8 reverse gears, enhancing versatility in various applications. The torque amplifier enables seamless shifting to lower speeds without stopping, improving productivity during tasks requiring precise control, such as tillage or transport. However, the 280mm dry disc clutch may require careful management to prevent wear under heavy loads, making operator skill essential for optimal performance.

| Type | two-speed power shift |
| Gears | 16 forward and 8 reverse |
| Clutch | 280mm dry disc |
| Description | Four synchronized gears (1-4) in two ranges (low/high) plus reverse range. Two-speed torque amplifier provides an on-the-move shift to a lower speed |
MECHANICAL
The CaseIH 585XL tractor features a hydrostatic power steering system, providing enhanced maneuverability, especially in tight spaces. Its 4x4 MFWD option offers improved traction on varied terrains, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications. The 8-speed synchromesh and 16-speed two-speed power shift transmissions enhance operational efficiency, allowing for smooth gear transitions under load, though they may require proper operator training to maximize performance.

CASEIH 585XL TIRES
The CaseIH 585XL tractor offers versatility with 2WD or 4WD configurations; 4WD provides enhanced traction on challenging terrain, while 2WD is lighter and potentially more fuel-efficient for flat, dry conditions. Standard tire specs—7.50-18 for the front and 13.6-38 for the rear in 2WD, and 12.4-24 for the front in 4WD—highlight its adaptability, though the larger front tires in 4WD might introduce additional soil compaction risks. Key considerations include evaluating terrain types and load requirements to optimize tire choice for specific agricultural tasks.
| 2WD Standard tires (ag) | Front: 7.50-18. Rear: 13.6-38 |
| 4WD Standard tires (ag) | Front: 12.4-24. Rear: 13.6-38 |
