Varies by configuration but generally in the range of 85-95 inches (approx. 2150-2400 mm).
Operating Weight:
Typically around 7,000 - 9,000 lbs (approx. 3175 - 4080 kg) without ballast and implements.
Drawbar Horsepower:
Directly related to engine horsepower, enabling significant draft capabilities.
Rollover Protection:
Typically comes standard with a Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) and provision for seatbelts.
Safety Switches:
Includes safety interlocks for PTO engagement, transmission starting, and hydraulic functions.
Lighting:
Standard headlights, taillights, and often work lights for enhanced visibility.
Operator Presence System:
May incorporate an operator presence system to ensure the tractor only operates when the operator is seated.
Infotainment Features:
Basic design focused on functionality; typically no advanced infotainment systems like touchscreens or integrated audio.
Driver Assistance Systems:
Limited to mechanical and electrical safety interlocks; no electronic driver assistance like ABS or traction control.
Connectivity Features:
No modern connectivity features such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or telematics.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 250 hours or annually, whichever comes first.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Recommended at 250-500 hour intervals, or as indicated by performance.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Typically every 1000 hours or annually.
Engine Oil Grade:
API CD or CE rated diesel engine oil, SAE 15W-40 or 10W-30 depending on climate (refer to manual for exact specs).
Hydraulic Fluid Type:
Case IH Hy-Trans UTF (Universal Tractor Transmission) or equivalent UTF fluid.
Transmission Fluid Type:
Case IH Hy-Trans UTF or equivalent UTF fluid.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol based antifreeze with corrosion inhibitors, typically a 50/50 mix with water.
Common Wear Items:
Like most tractors of this era, wear can occur on clutch components, hydraulic seals, and PTO splines.
Electrical Reliability:
Older electrical systems, particularly wiring harnesses and connectors, can be prone to corrosion and wear, potentially leading to intermittent issues.
Hydraulic Performance:
Over time, hydraulic pump wear or leaks in hoses and cylinders can reduce lift capacity and implement responsiveness.
Manufacturer History:
Case IH is a legacy brand with deep roots in agricultural machinery, known for innovation and robust equipment since the 19th century.
Series Context:
The 5100 series tractors were a significant part of Case IH's mid-range utility tractor lineup, introduced in the late 1980s and continuing into the 1990s, succeeding earlier models like the 485/585/685 series.
