J.I. CASE CF 250 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The J.I. Case CF 250 tractor is powered by a 1.8L Indenor XDP85 diesel engine, offering 25hp at 2200 RPM, making it suitable for light agricultural tasks or small-scale operations. Its indirect injection fuel system and high compression ratio of 21:1 enhance fuel efficiency but may require careful maintenance of the oil bath air cleaner to prevent airflow restrictions. The relatively compact oil (4.0L) and coolant capacities (10.2L) imply ease of maintenance; however, potential users should consider the power limitations for heavier applications and ensure compatibility with the workload.

J.I. CASE CF 250 ENGINE
The J.I. Case CF 250 tractor is powered by an Indenor 1.8L 4-cylinder diesel engine, offering a balance of efficiency and power for moderate agricultural tasks. Key advantages include its compact size for maneuverability and decent fuel economy, though potential challenges may arise from limited power output in heavy-duty applications. For optimal performance, the tractor is best suited for small to medium farms where versatility and reliability are prioritized.

TRANSMISSION
The J.I. Case CF 250 tractor features an 8 forward and 4 reverse gear configuration, which allows for flexibility in maneuverability and operational efficiency across various terrains. The four gears in two ranges optimize power delivery to the wheels, facilitating heavy-duty tasks and enhancing torque for challenging conditions. However, operators may need to adapt to the manual shifting between ranges, which could be a challenge in scenarios requiring quick directional changes.

MECHANICAL
The J.I. Case CF 250 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which enhances maneuverability in flat terrain but limits traction in challenging conditions compared to 4WD options. The planetary final drives and mechanical rear differential lock provide reliable power transfer and improved handling when engaged, suitable for light-duty operations. However, the open operator station may expose the operator to the elements, and the manual steering and mechanical drum brakes can be less responsive than modern hydraulic systems, affecting operator comfort and safety in prolonged usage.

J.I. CASE CF 250 TIRES
The J.I. Case CF 250 features a front tire size of 5.00-15 and rear tires of 11-28, which suggests a compact design suitable for maneuverability in tight agricultural spaces. The smaller front tires enhance steering response, while the larger rear tires provide improved traction and stability for heavy loads. However, users may face challenges in rough terrain due to the limited ground clearance typical of such compact configurations.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The J.I. Case CF 250 tractor features a compact wheelbase of 68.9 inches, providing enhanced maneuverability in tight spaces, making it ideal for small farm operations or landscaping tasks. Weighing 3527 lbs, it offers a balanced weight distribution, which can improve traction but may limit stability on uneven terrain. The front and rear tire specifications suggest a focus on light-duty applications; however, operators should be cautious when operating in muddy or sandy soils, as the smaller front tires might struggle with grip in such conditions.
