Case IH Compact Farmall® 55C
Features
A Compact Tractor at a Compact Price, Without Sacrificing Features.
Compact Farmall C deluxe series tractors are go-to workhorses, because of their size, maneuverability and physical capabilities. From moving mulch with a loader to blowing snow or digging with a backhoe, they are built tough and with plenty of power to get the job done.
ENGINE
More Power for Every Chore
A turbocharged, 3-cylinder, 1.9-L engine delivers increased power across the Compact Farmall C series tractor lineup. Models range from 35 to 55 hp (28-47 PTO hp) — a 5-hp increase over previous models. These engines also provide greater displacement and up to 20 percent greater torque output.
Common Rail Direct Injection
The latest fuel-injection technology offers several advantages, including improved power performance, increased efficiency and cleaner emissions.
Tier 4 B/Final Compliant
Engines use an internal Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system to meet Tier 4 B/Final requirements. A 50-hour Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) regeneration interval helps keep your workday humming.
TRANSMISSION
Transmission Options For Your Operation
Choose the standard mechanical shuttle transmission or the popular 3-range hydrostatic option.
Mechanical Shuttle Transmission
The standard shuttle transmission features 12x12 (three non synchronized ranges, four synchronized speeds) on Compact Farmall models 35C and 40C, and 16x16 (four non synchronized ranges, four synchronized speeds) on Compact Farmall models 45C and 55C.
Hydrostatic Transmission
A 3-range hydrostatic transmission is available on all four models. An easy-to-operate, 2-pedal system, electric cruise control and infinite operating speeds makes this option popular choice when considering operator convenience and fatigue. It’s an excellent choice for tasks, such as loader work and mowing, requiring frequent directional and speed changes.
