MECHANICAL
The J.I. Case 1200 tractor features a robust 4x4 4WD chassis, enhancing traction and stability for various terrains, making it suitable for both agricultural and construction applications. Its four-wheel hydraulic power steering offers improved maneuverability, while the four-wheel hydraulic shoe braking system ensures reliable stopping power under load, though maintenance might be more complex compared to mechanical brakes. The open operator station provides excellent visibility, although it may expose the operator to weather conditions.

J.I. CASE 1200 TIRES
The J.I. Case 1200 tractor features 23.1-26 agricultural tires both front and rear, providing enhanced stability and traction in field operations, ideal for moderate to heavy-duty tasks. However, the larger tire size may result in reduced maneuverability in tight spaces, which could be a challenge on smaller farms or in more constrained agricultural environments. Overall, these specifications support efficient soil engagement and load distribution, making the tractor suitable for various tillage and hauling applications.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The J.I. Case 1200 tractor features a 100.5-inch wheelbase, providing stability during operations, ideal for cultivating and heavy tillage tasks. Weighing 17,200 lbs, it offers excellent traction, but the weight could lead to soil compaction if used on sensitive terrains. The uniform tire size (23.1-26) enhances load distribution but may limit versatility in specialized applications requiring different tire dimensions.
