TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The J.I. Case 2290 tractor features an 8-speed 12-speed partial power shift transmission, allowing for seamless gear shifts under load, enhancing operational efficiency in varying terrain and conditions. This system provides optimal torque management and fuel efficiency, which is advantageous for heavy-duty tasks such as plowing or transporting loads. However, operators may face a learning curve due to the complexity of managing gear shifts effectively, particularly in demanding agricultural scenarios.

Description 8-speed 12-speed partial power shift

TRANSMISSION 1

The J.I. Case 2290 features an 8-speed forward and 4-speed reverse transmission, offering versatile gear selection for various field tasks. This capability allows for optimal speed management during plowing or towing, enhancing productivity and efficiency. However, operators may face a learning curve to effectively shift through the multiple gearing options, impacting initial ease of operation.

Gears 8 forward and 4 reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The J.I. Case 2290 tractor features a partial power shift transmission with 12 forward and 3 reverse gears, providing flexibility in speed and torque management for various field tasks. This allows for smoother operation during load transitions, enhancing productivity in applications like plowing or hauling. However, operators should be aware that partial power shift systems can complicate maintenance and may not provide as seamless a shift experience as full power shift alternatives.
