CASEIH C55 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The CaseIH C55 tractor is powered by a Steyr WD301 diesel 3-cylinder engine with a displacement of 3.1L, delivering 55hp at a rated RPM of 2300, which makes it capable for light to moderate agricultural tasks. Its torque output of 155 lb-ft at 1350 RPM ensures efficient pulling power, ideal for applications requiring consistent low-end torque, such as tilling or hauling. However, with a relatively low power-to-weight ratio, operators may find it less effective in high-demand scenarios or with heavy implements, highlighting a potential limitation in extensive farming operations.

CASEIH C55 TIRES
The CaseIH C55 tractor is equipped with Ag front tires sized 12.5-20 and Ag rear tires 14.9R30, which provide good flotation and traction for various field operations. The larger rear tires enhance stability and load capacity, making it suitable for heavy-duty tasks such as plowing and tilling. However, potential challenges include limited maneuverability in tight spaces due to its larger size and the need for compatible attachment implements for optimal performance.
