ENGINE DETAIL

The CaseIH Farmall 130A features a robust FPT 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine with a displacement of 4.5L, which ensures efficient power delivery at 130 horsepower while meeting Tier IV emissions standards through selective catalytic reduction. With a bore and stroke of 4.094x5.197 inches, it offers good torque characteristics, suitable for intensive agricultural tasks. Key considerations include its oil capacity of 10.6 quarts, which supports longer intervals between changes, but requires careful monitoring to avoid potential engine wear.

CASEIH FARMALL 130A ENGINE

The CaseIH Farmall 130A tractor is powered by an efficient FPT 4.5L 4-cylinder diesel engine, which offers a balance of power and fuel efficiency, ideal for medium-scale agricultural operations. Its substantial 56.8-gallon fuel tank enhances operational uptime, while the 7.9-gallon DEF tank helps meet Tier 4 emissions standards, potentially increasing maintenance requirements. A challenge may arise from the need for DEF management in remote areas, but the setup supports cleaner operation and compliance with environmental regulations.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The CaseIH Farmall 130A tractor features an 8-speed power shuttle and a 16-speed power shuttle option, offering versatility in workload management. The mechanical shuttle enhances operational control, beneficial for tasks requiring frequent direction changes, such as loader work. However, the complexity of the 16-speed system may necessitate a learning curve for operators.

TRANSMISSION 1

The CaseIH Farmall 130A is equipped with a power shuttle transmission that offers seamless forward and reverse gear shifting, enhancing operational efficiency during tasks such as loader work or field maneuvering. The 8 forward and 8 reverse gears provide versatility in speed selection, allowing the operator to optimize performance across various applications, from tillage to transport. However, the complexity of the transmission may require additional training for operators unfamiliar with power shuttles, potentially impacting ease of use for novice users.

TRANSMISSION 2

The CaseIH Farmall 130A includes a mechanical shuttle transmission, allowing for smooth transitions between forward and reverse gears, which enhances operational efficiency during tasks such as loader work. With 8 forward and reverse gears, the tractor provides a versatile range of speed options, making it suitable for various agricultural applications including tillage and transport. However, operators may find the mechanical shuttle less intuitive compared to electronic systems, possibly requiring a steeper learning curve in high-traffic scenarios.

Gears 8 forward and reverse

TRANSMISSION 3

The CaseIH Farmall 130A tractor features a power shuttle transmission with 16 forward and 8 reverse gears, offering versatile operation in various field conditions. The Hi-Lo function enhances productivity by allowing seamless transitions between different speed ranges without clutch disengagement. This system is particularly advantageous for tasks requiring frequent changes in direction, such as loading and unloading operations, while the added complexity may pose maintenance challenges over time.

MECHANICAL

The CaseIH Farmall 130A features a robust chassis with options for both 2WD and 4WD, providing versatility for various terrains, though 4WD will enhance traction on slippery or uneven surfaces. The tractor's transmission options include an 8-speed power or mechanical shuttle, offering straightforward operation for fieldwork; however, the choice of transmission should align with the operator's need for speed variability and ease of shifting. A cab with air-conditioning adds comfort during extended usage in hot conditions, although maintenance of the cab systems may present additional challenges.

CASEIH FARMALL 130A TIRES

The CaseIH Farmall 130A tractor is available in both 2WD and 4WD configurations, offering flexibility for various terrain and operational needs. The 2WD option with standard agricultural tires provides efficient performance in flat, well-drained fields, while the 4WD variant enhances traction and stability on uneven or sloped terrain, particularly during adverse conditions or when handling heavier loads. Key considerations include potential drag in 2WD on wet soil, whereas 4WD can increase fuel consumption and maintenance costs due to additional drivetrain complexity.
