TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The CaseIH Farmall 120C tractor features a 12-speed mechanical shuttle and an optional 12-speed power shuttle, significantly enhancing operational control during both forward and reverse maneuvers. The 24-speed configuration offers greater versatility in matching engine RPM with load conditions, improving efficiency and productivity across various tasks, such as tilling and hauling. However, the complexity of a multi-speed transmission may require additional operator training to fully utilize its capabilities and ensure optimal performance.

TRANSMISSION 1

The CaseIH Farmall 120C tractor features a mechanical shuttle transmission with 12 forward and reverse gears, enhancing operator control during various field tasks. Its four synchronized gears across three non-synchronized ranges provide smooth shifts under load, but may require operator skill for optimal use. Ideal for mid-size farms, the setup balances versatility with simplicity, aiding in tasks like tilling or transporting goods.

Gears 12 forward and reverse
Description Four synchronized gears in three non-synchronized ranges with mechanical shuttle shift

TRANSMISSION 2

The CaseIH Farmall 120C features a power shuttle transmission with 12 forward and reverse gears, allowing for smooth directional changes without clutching, enhancing operational efficiency. The four synchronized gears across three non-synchronized ranges provide versatility for various field conditions, optimizing power delivery to the wheels. However, the non-synchronized ranges may require more operator skill for seamless shifting under load, which could pose challenges for inexperienced operators.

CASEIH FARMALL 120C TIRES

The CaseIH Farmall 120C offers two drivetrain options: 2WD and 4WD. The 4WD configuration with larger tires (14.9R24 front and 18.4R34 rear) enhances traction and stability on uneven terrains, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications such as tillage or transporting loads on soft ground. In contrast, the 2WD option is generally more fuel-efficient and cost-effective for less demanding tasks, but it may experience limitations in performance on challenging landscapes.
