⚙️ Engine Specifications

Engine Make:

Case IH (often utilizes engines from partners like FPT Industrial)

Engine Model Code:

Specific engine model code would be listed in the manual (e.g., F5A or similar designation).

Engine Type:

Typically a 3- or 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine.

Horsepower:

Approximately 60 Gross HP (specific PTO HP will be lower and detailed in the manual).

Torque:

Specific torque figures would be detailed in the manual, important for drawbar pull.

Fuel Type:

Diesel

Injection System:

Commonly a high-pressure mechanical or common rail diesel injection system.

🔧 Transmission

Transmission Type:

Often a mechanical synchronized transmission with multiple gears (e.g., 12 forward / 12 reverse).

Optional Transmission:

Some configurations might offer a 2WD or 4WD variant.

Gear Range:

Multiple gear splits for optimized speed and torque delivery across various tasks.

Clutch Type:

Typically a dry, single-stage clutch for main drive.

📐 Dimensions
