Introduction
Case IH 2130 Orchard and Vineyard Tractor
The Case IH 2130 is a specialized tractor model produced between 1988 and 1993, specifically engineered for orchard and vineyard operations. Part of the 2100 series, this machine was manufactured by Carraro and distributed under the Case IH brand, offering a 52 horsepower output designed for maneuverability in narrow planting environments.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by the SLH 100.3.A diesel engine, a three-cylinder, air-cooled unit with a displacement of 3.0 liters (183.1 cubic inches). It generates a torque of 192.0 Nm at 1350 RPM, with a rated engine speed of 2350 RPM. The engine features a 17:1 compression ratio and utilizes a dual dry element air cleaner to ensure consistent performance in dusty agricultural conditions.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The drivetrain is available in either two-wheel or four-wheel drive configurations. It features a partially synchronized transmission, offered with either an 8-speed or 12-speed forward and reverse arrangement. Both options utilize a 280mm dry disc clutch and a mechanical shuttle lever for direction changes. Directional and gear shifts require the use of the clutch and a complete stop of the tractor.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system utilizes an open-center design with a pump flow capacity of 59.0 lpm (15.6 gpm). Depending on the configuration, the system includes one or two valves. The independent rear PTO provides three speed settings—540, 750, and 1000 RPM—allowing for versatile operation of various implements. The rear hitch, compatible with Category I/II equipment, incorporates position and draft control, with a maximum lift capacity of up to 2528 kg depending on the specific model variant.
Dimensions and Handling
Designed for specialized tasks, the 2130 features a compact footprint. The 2WD model has a wheelbase of 198 cm, while the 4WD version measures 194 cm. The machine is equipped with hydrostatic power steering and wet disc brakes for precise control. Standard configurations include two-post forward-folding ROPS for safety, with an optional cab available.
Conclusion
The Case IH 2130 is a robust, purpose-built tractor tailored for orchard and vineyard work. Its combination of a high-torque, air-cooled engine, compact dimensions, and versatile PTO options makes it a reliable choice for farmers requiring a maneuverable machine capable of handling medium-duty cultivation and maintenance tasks.
