ENGINE DETAIL
The CaseIH Farmall 85C tractor features a robust FPT turbocharged 4-cylinder diesel engine with a 4.5L displacement, providing a maximum gross power of 84hp at 2300 RPM, which is ideal for medium-duty farming tasks. The use of a Bosch fuel injection pump and a dual dry element air cleaner enhances fuel efficiency and engine performance while maintaining compliance with Tier III emissions standards. However, the higher compression ratio of 17.5:1 may necessitate careful monitoring of fuel quality to prevent knocking, particularly in heavier load scenarios.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The CaseIH Farmall 85C features a 16-speed mechanical shuttle transmission, providing enhanced control and efficiency during direction changes and speed adjustments. The power shuttle option allows for seamless transitions between forward and reverse without clutching, optimizing workflow in tasks like loader operation. This versatility enhances productivity on the farm but may require a steeper learning curve for operators unfamiliar with power shuttle systems.
