Case IH Compact Farmall 55C CVT
Features
Get to Know the Easy-Driving CVT
The compact Farmall C CVT drives likes a car — no shifting required. A simplified control pod guides the CVT transmission, and intuitive, easy-to-understand buttons on the pod allow you decide how your tractor operates. What’s more, the CVT gets the job done quietly and efficiently, so whatever you’re doing feels less like work and more like fun.
ENGINE
Power and Performance
A turbocharged, electronically-controlled 2.2L engine features 3 cylinders and a tunnel block design assures ruggedness and easy maintenance without sacrificing power, efficiency or performance. Two available models range from 45 to 53 HP (34-41 PTO HP).
Common Rail Direct Injection
The latest fuel-injection technology offers several advantages, including faster throttle response, improved power performance, increased efficiency and cleaner emissions. The system precisely meters fuel as power demands for fast recovery to load, along with quieter engine operation with less vibration.
Tier 4 B/Final Compliant
Engines use an internal Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system to meet Tier 4 B/Final requirements. A maintenance-free particulate matter catalyst provides for interruption-free operation.
TRANSMISSION
Change Speeds Seamlessly
The user-friendly CVT transmission provides smooth, seamless speed changes through varying conditions. It also makes the Compact Farmall C CVT one of the fastest roading compact tractors available, with speeds up to 20 miles per hour.
Simple Controls
Just press the single pedal and go. The CVT automatically adjusts to deliver the desired speed and match load conditions.
Easy Shuttling
Although CVT is an outstanding feature for all kinds of tasks, we didn’t forget those, such as loader work, that require frequent directional changes. A premium, finger-controlled shuttle shift lever lets you easily change direction.
Cruise Control
Just like driving a car or pickup, cruise control maintains a constant ground speed. This is a great feature for applications with a consistent load, such as mowing.
