ENGINE DETAIL

The J.I. Case 1370 tractor is powered by a robust 504BDT turbocharged diesel engine, offering high torque at lower RPMs, essential for heavy-duty tasks. With a compression ratio of 16.5:1 and a displacement of 8.3L, its efficient fuel combustion provides reliable performance, but may necessitate high-quality fuel to prevent knocking. Notable specifications include a 12V starter and a significant oil capacity of 14.9 quarts, indicating a well-designed lubrication system suited for prolonged operation, albeit this could lead to higher maintenance costs due to the size of the components.

TRANSMISSION

The J.I. Case 1370 features a partial power shift transmission, offering 12 forward and 3 reverse gears, which enhances versatility and allows for smoother transitions between speeds during various agricultural tasks. The advantage of this system is improved efficiency in power transfer, particularly in demanding operations like plowing or tilling. However, operators may face a learning curve with gear selection to optimize performance based on load conditions.

Type	partial power shift
Gears	12 forward and 3 reverse

MECHANICAL

The J.I. Case 1370 tractor features a 4x2 2WD configuration, which is ideal for standard farming operations, but may limit traction in challenging terrains compared to 4WD models. Its hydraulic differential lock enhances traction, while hydrostatic power steering provides ease of maneuverability, especially in tight spaces. The 12-speed partial power shift transmission allows for efficient speed control, making it suitable for varied tasks, though it may require more operator skill to utilize effectively in demanding conditions.

J.I. CASE 1370 TIRES

The J.I. Case 1370 tractor offers versatility with multiple rear tire options, enabling adaptability to various field conditions and crop types. A narrower front tire (9.50x20) provides improved maneuverability in tight spaces while the wider rear tires enhance traction and stability, particularly in muddy or uneven terrains. However, operators should be mindful of tire wear and load-carrying capacity when selecting tire sizes for specific agricultural applications.

Ag front	9.50x20
Ag rear	16.9x38 / 20.8x34 / 20.8x38 / 24.5x32 / 23.1x34 / 12.4x42
