ENGINE DETAIL

The CaseIH CX50 tractor is powered by a Perkins 903.27 diesel engine, featuring a compact 3-cylinder configuration and a modest 2.7L displacement, which provides a gross output of 53hp and a peak torque of 140 lb-ft at 1200 RPM. The mechanical direct injection system enhances fuel efficiency while the dual paper element air cleaner ensures optimal engine performance in varying conditions. Key considerations include the relatively low oil change interval of 250 hours, potentially higher maintenance frequency, and the engine's optimized torque curve for effective low-end power delivery, making it suitable for small to medium-sized agricultural tasks.

TRANSMISSION 2

The CaseIH CX50 tractor features a partial power shift transmission, providing 16 forward and 8 reverse gears, which enables adaptability for various field conditions and workload demands. The 12-inch dry disc clutch allows for efficient engagement and disengagement, though it may wear quicker under heavy use compared to wet clutches. With oil capacities of 36.4 quarts (2WD) and 39.1 quarts (4WD), operators should monitor fluid levels closely to maintain optimal performance, especially during extended operations in challenging terrains.

TRANSMISSION 3

The CaseIH CX50 tractor's creeper transmission enhances its capability for low-speed operations, making it ideal for applications like tillage or precise planting. With 24 forward and 12 reverse gears, it offers excellent versatility for navigating various terrain types, although the complexity of the transmission may require more maintenance. Users should consider the operational demands; this tractor is best suited for tasks requiring consistent speed control and maneuverability rather than high-speed transport.
