Powershift:
Certain models may offer a partial powershift (e.g., 12x12 or 16x16) transmission, particularly the higher HP models.
Clutch:
Single or Dual Clutch, depending on transmission type.

Wheelbase:
Varies by model, approx. 80-85 inches (203-216 cm).
Operating Weight:
Typically 4,500 - 6,500 lbs (2,041 - 2,948 kg), depending on configuration and ballast.
Max Gross Weight:
Will be specified in the manual, allowing for ballast and implement weight.
Hitch Lift Capacity:
Rear 3-point hitch lift capacity at the ball ends, typically 3,500 - 5,000 lbs (1,588 - 2,268 kg).
Rollover Protection:
ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) is standard. CAB models typically include certified ROPS and seatbelts.
Braking System:
Hydraulically actuated wet disc brakes for reliable stopping power.
Parking Brake:
Mechanical parking brake system.
Seatbelts:
Standard on models with ROPS or CAB.
Lighting:
Standard work lights and road lighting (depending on configuration).
Features:
Basic instrumentation (tachometer, temperature gauge, fuel gauge, warning lights). Radio and speaker systems may be optional on some models.
Features:
PTO engagement controls, hydraulic hitch controls, potentially 4WD engagement. Advanced electronic driver aids are not typically present.
Features:
No advanced telematics or external connectivity features typical of modern agricultural machinery.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 250 or 500 hours of operation, depending on operating conditions and oil specification used. Manual will specify exact interval.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Recommended every 500 operating hours or annually, whichever comes first.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Typically every 1000 or 1200 hours. Fluid analysis may be recommended.
Air Filter Maintenance:
Daily inspection of pre-cleaner and element, replacement as needed or at specified intervals (e.g., annually or based on operating hours).
Engine Oil:
Refer to manual for specific API/ACEA classification and SAE viscosity grade (e.g., 15W-40). Case IH Telles S2 15W-40 or equivalent often specified.
Hydraulic Fluid:
Case IH MS-1207, MS-1209, or MS-1210 specification. Typically a Universal Tractor Transmission Oil (UTTO) or equivalent.
Transmission Oil:
Dependent on transmission type. May use UTTO or specific gear oil. Manual is critical for correct specification.
Coolant:
Ethylene glycol based antifreeze, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water. Case IH Advanced Coolant or equivalent.
Common Problems:
Potential issues may include hydraulic system leaks, starter/alternator wear, clutch adjustments, and potential issues with older fuel injection systems if not maintained.
Preventative Maintenance:
Adherence to the service schedule, regular cleaning of cooling system and air intake, and using correct fluid specifications are crucial for longevity.
Manufacturer:
Case Corporation (later merged into CNH Global).
Lineage:
The JX series tractors represent a development from earlier Fiatagri models and were designed to offer a cost-effective, yet capable, utility tractor solution.
Production Period:
The JX series was primarily produced from the early 2000s onwards, with specific production dates for these models potentially overlapping with the 2000s and early 2010s.
Manufacturing Location:
Likely manufactured at CNH Global plants in Europe or other international locations, depending on the specific market and production year.
Industry Awards:
Specific awards for the JX series are not widely publicized, as they are utility tractors rather than flagship models. However, Case IH as a brand is recognized for its long history and innovation in agricultural machinery.
Performance Reliability:
Generally rated well for reliability and ease of operation within its utility tractor class, particularly when properly maintained.
Emissions:
Engines will meet emissions standards relevant to their production year (e.g., Tier II, Tier III in relevant markets).
