Case IH has revealed three new multi-purpose tractors – the 55hp Farmall 55A, 65hp Farmall 65A and 75hp Farmall 75 – that are light, highly manoeuvrable, easy to use and have low running costs. Their design, specification, performance and practicality make them ideal for loader, livestock and municipal applications, as well as for other land-based businesses requiring a low-cost, versatile, easily maintained tractor for general tasks.
Attractively-styled, with a sloping bonnet for excellent forward visibility, all are available in two-wheel or four-wheel-drive models. They have a spacious, comfortable cab or ROPS, and options that allow customers to tailor the specification to their exact requirements.
Power is supplied by 2.9-litre turbocharged/intercooled engines developed by FPT that achieves maximum power from 1,900rpm to 2,300rpm, providing a 400rpm Constant Power band, with peak torque produced at 1,400rpm.
All engines incorporate a maintenance-free diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) to help meet Stage IIIB emission standards without AdBlue, while the class-leading 600-hour oil-change interval minimises servicing costs. A choice of vertical or horizontal exhausts is offered.
The standard transmission on two-wheel-drive models is a 30km/hr 12×12 Mech-Shuttle, while four-wheel-drive models are equipped with a 40km/hr 12×12 Mech-Shuttle. The optional 40km/hr 20×20 Creeper transmission provides a minimum forward speed of just 110m/hr, while the optional Powershuttle offers clutch-less operation, ideal for tasks that require frequent changes of direction.
All models feature a Case IH front axle that is three-point-linkage and loader ready, enabling these to be fitted quickly and easily. The rear axle, which has a maximum capacity of 3,700kg, incorporates a mechanically engaged differential lock and oil-immersed disc brakes. The standard hydraulic trailer braking system provides excellent performance, but a pneumatic system can also be specified.
The rear three-point linkage sets a benchmark for this class of tractor, providing a maximum lift capacity of 3,000kg when an assister ram is fitted. Farmall A models also feature a fully independent 540rpm, six-spline PTO, with the option of 540/540E and 540/540E plus ground speed units.
Providing outstanding all-round visibility through a class-leading five square metres of glass area, the four-post, flat-floor cab offers a quiet, comfortable, relaxing working environment. Meeting FOPS and Level 2 dust protection standards, it incorporates a high-visibility roof panel, single-piece rear window that opens to almost 90 degrees, front and rear worklights, wide-view mirrors and a rotary beacon. Air conditioning is optional.
