Introduction
CaseIH 1455 XL: Row-Crop Tractor
The CaseIH 1455 XL is a high-capacity row-crop tractor produced between 1985 and 1996 in Neuss, Germany. As a core model of the 1455 series, it is engineered for demanding agricultural operations requiring significant traction and implement management.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by the International Harvester DT-402, a 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine with a displacement of 6.6 liters. It delivers 145 hp (108.1 kW) at a rated speed of 2200 RPM, with a peak torque of 528.8 Nm reached at 1600 RPM. The engine employs a direct injection system and liquid cooling to maintain thermal efficiency under heavy loads.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Equipped with a ZF fully synchronized transmission, the 1455 XL offers multiple configurations, including a 12-speed or 20-speed setup. These transmissions feature two ranges (low/high) and a reverse range, with the 20-speed option incorporating an underdrive for the lower gears to provide precise speed control. The drivetrain includes four-wheel drive and hydrostatic power steering for improved maneuverability.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system operates at a pressure of 171.5 bar with a pump flow rate of 41.6 lpm. It features position and draft control to manage implements effectively. The rear hitch is a Type III/II system capable of lifting up to 12,980 lbs (5,887 kg), supported by an independent rear PTO offering both 540 and 1000 RPM speeds.
Dimensions and Operator Environment
With a wheelbase of 110.2 inches and a total weight of 11,499 lbs, the tractor is built for stability during heavy field work. It is equipped with a standard cab that includes an integrated heater. Standard agricultural tires are specified as 16.9R28 for the front and 20.8R38 for the rear, providing the necessary footprint for various soil conditions.
Conclusion
The CaseIH 1455 XL is designed for heavy-duty agricultural applications where power, torque, and implement compatibility are essential. Its robust construction and versatile transmission options make it a reliable machine for large-scale row-crop farming.
