TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The J.I. Case 2090 tractor features a 12-speed partial power shift transmission, offering versatile gear selection for varied field conditions, enhancing operational efficiency. With an 8-speed range, it provides ample torque for heavy-duty tasks while maintaining fuel efficiency. However, operators must be adept at managing the power shift system to prevent potential overloading and ensure optimal performance.

Description 12-speed partial power shift 8-speed

TRANSMISSION 1

The J.I. Case 2090 features a partial power shift transmission, enabling efficient gear changes across 12 forward speeds and 3 reverse, enhancing operational flexibility for various tasks. Its low-medium-high power shift capability allows for fine-tuning of torque and speed under varying load conditions, which is advantageous during fieldwork or transport. However, the complexity of partial power shift systems may pose maintenance challenges; operators should be adept at troubleshooting potential hydraulic or shift linkage issues.

Type partial power shift
Gears 12 forward and 3 reverse
Description Four gears and reverse with a low-medium-high power shift.

TRANSMISSION 2

The J.I. Case 2090 tractor features an 8-speed forward and 2-speed reverse transmission, providing versatility for various agricultural tasks. Its four gears across low and high ranges allow for efficient operation in diverse terrains, enhancing productivity. However, operators may need to familiarize themselves with gear shifts to optimize performance during complex maneuvers.

Gears 8 forward and 2 reverse
Description Four gears with low, high, and reverse ranges.

MECHANICAL

The J.I. Case 2090 tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, offering simplicity and lower maintenance costs, ideal for flat terrain or light-duty applications. Its hydrostatic power steering enhances maneuverability, while the differential hydraulic wet disc brakes provide reliable stopping power in varying conditions. The 12-speed partial power shift transmission allows for seamless gear transitions, making it versatile for different tasks, though reduced traction in slippery conditions may limit performance compared to 4WD models.
