ENGINES OVERVIEW
The J.I. Case 310 tractor features a versatile 2.4L 4-cylinder engine available in both gasoline and LP Gas variants, providing flexibility for fuel choice that can affect operational costs and emissions. While gasoline engines generally offer easier starting in cold conditions, the LP Gas engine may yield cleaner combustion and lower maintenance costs over time. When selecting between the two, consider the availability of fuel, the specific power demands of your tasks, and regional regulations on emissions.

TRANSMISSION 2
The J.I. Case 310 tractor features a Tripl-Range transmission with 12 forward and 3 reverse gears, allowing for versatility in various field conditions, enhancing productivity during tasks requiring precise speed control. The master foot clutch operates a 234.9mm dry disc, while the wet discs for the traction hand clutch offer smoother engagement under heavy loads but may incur additional maintenance. This design is advantageous for farming applications, providing operators with flexible power management, though the complexity of the transmission system can pose challenges for repairs.
