The new Case IH Farmall C Series has been developed from the ground up to create the ideal machine for farmyard work, such as front loader tasks or use around livestock buildings. Complementing the current Quantum C series, there are three Farmall C models with power outputs of 55hp, 65hp and 75hp.
Its compact design means the tractor is also well-suited to specialist farming applications such as working in vegetable cultivation and speciality crops. It sets new standards for all-round visibility, particularly to the most important working areas.
The Farmall name is deeply rooted in Case IH history. Reliability and versatility were hallmarks of the first Farmall tractors, which helped them quickly become a worldwide success after their launch in 1922.
The Farmall C series is powered by a 3.2-litre, four-cylinder engine from Fiat Powertrain Technologies. The new tractors blend compact design and powerful engines to create a favourable ratio between power output and total weight, resulting in a tractor that is powerful yet agile.
Thanks to its short-wheelbase concept, the turning radius is a mere 3.75m. The standard transmission is a 12×12 synchromesh, with the number of speeds rising to 20×20 when the optional creep speeds are specified. Both options can be fitted with either mechanical or power shuttle. The maximum travel speed is 40km/hr, while the optional creeper allows speeds as low as 123m/hr.
From the outside, the new Farmall’s design is characterised by a modern sloping bonnet, and a completely new convenience cab, which sets new standards in visibility to the most important working areas.
During the development of the Farmall C Series, Case IH engineers focused on driver comfort and ergonomics, and the cab features a completely flat floor. The innovative design of the integral opening high-visibility roof means any front loader attachment can be seen easily at full height.
The Farmall C cab is based on the operating concepts of larger Case IH tractors, and all the main displays are ergonomically integrated into the dashboard. For the first time, a loader joystick can be integrated into the right hand operating console, permitting convenient and sensitive control of the front loader.
While air-conditioning units on smaller tractors are commonly sited in the roof, on the Farmall C, Case IH engineers have instead integrated it into the cabin. This gives the tractors an overall height as low as 2.37m – the lowest in this power bracket for a machine with a flat-floor cab – making the Farmall C ideal for use in situations where headroom is low, such as livestock buildings.
As part of the new cab design, emphasis was placed on modern sound insulation, and when compared with previous models, noise levels have been significantly reduced.
As standard, the Farmall C comes equipped with a radio with integrated iPod dock. The wide comfort seat, with 15 degree pivot function, ensures a pleasant working position. Cab options include a high-quality passenger seat.
The new Farmall C will win significant bonus points for its economy. As well as very frugal engines, the tractors are also distinguished by very low maintenance costs, helped by service intervals of 600 hours. The tractors’ oil consumption per 1,000 hours is 54 per cent lower than that of comparable competitors.
The tractor’s rear linkage has a lift capacity of 2,150kg, and up to three (at the back) and two(mid-mounted) hydraulic remotes can be specified.
