ENGINE DETAIL

The CaseIH JX85, equipped with a 4-cylinder 3.9L Iveco diesel engine, offers a well-balanced performance thanks to its 17.0:1 compression ratio and efficient air filtration via a paper element. With a rated RPM of 2500, it provides ample torque for moderate agricultural tasks but may require careful gear management in heavy-duty applications due to its relatively low power band. Ideal for small to mid-sized farms, this tractor's compact size can be an advantage for maneuverability in tight spaces, though it may face challenges in extreme field conditions requiring higher horsepower.

CASEIH JX85 ENGINE

The CaseIH JX85 is equipped with a robust Iveco 3.9L 4-cylinder diesel engine, providing a balance of power and fuel efficiency ideal for medium-duty agricultural tasks. With a 24.3-gallon (92.0-liter) fuel tank, it offers extended operational range, reducing downtime for refueling during extensive fieldwork. However, its size and weight may limit maneuverability in smaller fields or tight spots, necessitating careful consideration of the working environment.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The CaseIH JX85 features a 12-speed mechanical shuttle transmission, enhancing operator control and efficiency during direction changes, particularly useful in tight spaces or during loader work. The 20-speed creeper option allows for precise speed adjustments at low RPMs, ideal for applications like plowing or cultivating where meticulous ground speed is required. However, the complexity of the transmission may challenge less experienced operators, necessitating familiarization to maximize performance.

TRANSMISSION 1

The CaseIH JX85 features a mechanical shuttle with a 12-speed transmission, providing versatile control for various field tasks. The four gears across three ranges allow for optimal torque distribution and speed selection, which enhances maneuverability in tight spaces. However, the mechanical shuttle may require more operator skill compared to power-shuttle systems, especially in demanding conditions.

Type mechanical shuttle
Gears 12 forward and reverse
Description Four gears (1-4) in three ranges with mechanical shuttle

TRANSMISSION 2

The CaseIH JX85 features a creeper transmission, providing precise speed control for tasks requiring low-speed operation, such as tillage or planting. With a total of 20 forward and 12 reverse gears, it offers versatility for both fieldwork and transport, allowing the operator to select the optimal speed for varying conditions. However, the complexity of the gear system may require more maintenance and operator training to maximize efficiency and prevent wear in frequent gear changes.

Gears 20 forward and 12 reverse

MECHANICAL

The CaseIH JX85 tractor features a robust 4x2 2WD configuration or an optional 4x4 MFWD for enhanced traction in challenging terrain. Its mechanical rear differential lock provides improved axle performance, while the hydrostatic power steering offers excellent maneuverability. The 12-speed mechanical shuttle and 20-speed creeper transmissions allow for versatile speed control, making it suitable for both general farming tasks and more precise operations like tilling or planting.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The CaseIH JX85 has a wheelbase of 90.7 inches for 2WD and 88.5 inches for 4WD, offering stability and maneuverability, particularly advantageous in varying field conditions. Weighing between 6425 to 6995 pounds, it provides a solid base for implementing a range of agricultural tasks, though operators should be aware of potential soil compaction in softer terrains. The choice between 2WD and 4WD will influence traction and fuel efficiency; 4WD excels in challenging conditions but may incur higher operational costs.
