ENGINE DETAIL

The CaseIH Farmall 50 is powered by a Shibaura N844L 4-cylinder diesel engine, featuring a compact displacement of 2.2L and a high compression ratio of 22.4:1, which enhances efficiency and torque output for demanding tasks. With a gross power rating of 50 hp at a relatively low 2800 RPM, it offers ample power for agricultural operations while maintaining fuel efficiency, thanks to the dual-element air cleaner and glow plug pre-heating system. However, its smaller engine size may limit performance in heavy-duty applications compared to larger tractors, making it most suitable for mid-sized farms or specialized tasks.

CASEIH FARMALL 50 ENGINE

The CaseIH Farmall 50 features a Shibaura 2.2L 4-cylinder diesel engine, which delivers efficient fuel combustion, optimizing power output for diverse agricultural tasks. With a 13-gallon (49.2L) fuel tank, the tractor offers extended operational time, reducing downtime during fieldwork. However, the relatively compact engine size may limit its torque delivery under heavy load scenarios, making it best suited for moderate-duty tasks rather than heavy towing or plowing.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The CaseIH Farmall 50 features a 12-speed continuously variable transmission (CVT), providing seamless power delivery and optimal speed control for various agricultural tasks. This transmission enhances fuel efficiency and reduces operator fatigue, as it allows precise adjustments without interrupting engine power. However, maintenance may require specialized knowledge due to the complexity of the CVT system, which could pose challenges for some operators in remote areas.

Description 12-speed continuously variable transmission

TRANSMISSION 1

The CaseIH Farmall 50 features a Synchro Shuttle transmission with 12 forward and reverse gears, providing versatile speed and torque options for various agricultural tasks. The dry disc clutch ensures smoother gear transitions, reducing wear on drivetrain components. Ideal for medium-duty farming operations, this tractor balances efficiency with ease of use, although operators may need to adapt to the manual synchronization for optimal performance in shifting.

Transmission Synchro Shuttle
Gears 12 forward and reverse
Clutch dry disc
Description Four synchronized gears in three ranges

TRANSMISSION 2

The CaseIH Farmall 50 tractor features a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that allows infinite gear selection for seamless forward and reverse operation, enhancing productivity and efficiency in fieldwork. Its mechanical CVT with steel chain drive provides smooth acceleration and deceleration, while the three-speed modes (low, medium, high) cater to diverse operational scenarios. The left-hand shuttle lever adds convenience for quick direction changes, although proactive maintenance of the CVT system is essential to ensure long-term reliability and performance.

MECHANICAL

The CaseIH Farmall 50 tractor features a 4x4 MFWD system, enhancing traction and stability on uneven terrain, while its hydrostatic power steering allows for precise maneuverability during complex field operations. The wet disc braking system provides consistent stopping power, essential for safety, especially in hilly areas or when handling heavy loads. The standard air-conditioned cabin on CVT-equipped models ensures operator comfort during prolonged use, although the complexity of CVT may demand more maintenance compared to conventional transmission systems.

CASEIH FARMALL 50 TIRES

The CaseIH Farmall 50 tractor features versatile tire options—agricultural, lawn/turf, and industrial—which allow it to excel in various applications, from farming to landscaping to light construction work. The choice of Ag tires (8-16 front, 14.9-24 rear) provides superior traction and better ground clearance for fieldwork, while Turf tires (27x10.50-15 front, 44x18-20 rear) minimize soil compaction on delicate lawns. However, selecting inappropriate tires for specific tasks may hinder performance, such as using industrial tires (10-16.5 front, 17.5x24 rear) in farming, which could compromise traction and operational efficiency.
