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.

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.

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.
