CASEIH FARMALL 40 ENGINE

The CaseIH Farmall 40 is powered by a Shibaura 2.0L 4-cylinder diesel engine, offering a balance of efficiency and power for small to medium farming tasks. With a fuel tank capacity of 13 gallons (49.2 liters), it provides reasonable operational range for extended use, which is advantageous for uninterrupted fieldwork. However, the relatively smaller engine size may pose challenges in applications requiring high torque or heavy lifting compared to larger models.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The CaseIH Farmall 40 features a 12-speed hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (CVT), providing seamless power delivery and optimal fuel efficiency for diverse agricultural tasks. This transmission design offers precise speed control and reduces operator fatigue, making it ideal for extensive fieldwork and maneuvering in tight spaces. However, maintenance may require specialized knowledge, and the initial cost of CVT systems can be higher compared to traditional transmissions, which could be a consideration for budget-conscious farmers.

Description 12-speed hydrostatic continuously variable transmission

TRANSMISSION 1

The CaseIH Farmall 40 features a Synchro Shuttle transmission, allowing smooth gear shifting for both forward and reverse operations, improving operator comfort during direction changes. With 12 forward and reverse gears, the tractor offers versatility for various applications, enhancing productivity in tasks ranging from tillage to transport. However, the complexity of the transmission system may increase maintenance requirements compared to simpler gear configurations.

Gears 12 forward and reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The CaseIH Farmall 40 features a hydrostatic transmission, providing seamless control over speed and direction without the need for gear shifting. Its infinite forward and reverse gears enhance maneuverability for tasks like mowing, tilling, or front-loader operations, especially in tight spaces. However, hydrostatic systems may require more maintenance and could lead to higher fuel consumption compared to traditional gear-driven systems.

Gears infinite forward and reverse

TRANSMISSION 3

The CaseIH Farmall 40 features a continuously variable transmission (CVT), providing infinite gear options for precise speed control, which enhances fuel efficiency and operator comfort. The steel chain mechanism between variable-diameter pulleys allows for smooth transitions across three speed modes (low, medium, high), ensuring adaptability for diverse tasks. However, mechanical complexity may result in higher maintenance costs compared to traditional gear systems, necessitating careful operational practices to maximize longevity.

MECHANICAL

The CaseIH Farmall 40 features a 4x4 MFWD configuration, providing excellent traction and stability on diverse terrains, ideal for farming and maintenance tasks. Its hydrostatic power steering enhances maneuverability while the wet disc brakes offer reliable stopping power in varying conditions. The optional air-conditioned cab adds operator comfort, making it suitable for extended use in challenging environments, though the foldable two-post ROPS may limit protective features compared to full cabs.
