Introduction
Case IH 2140 Orchard/Vineyard Tractor
The Case IH 2140 is a specialized orchard and vineyard tractor produced by Carraro between 1988 and 1993. Positioned within the 2130-2150 series, this model provides 61 horsepower and is designed for maneuverability in confined spaces such as orchards and vineyards.
Engine and Power
The tractor is powered by an SLH 1000.4.A four-cylinder diesel engine with a 4.0-liter displacement. It is an air-cooled unit featuring a 17:1 compression ratio and a rated engine speed of 2350 RPM. The engine delivers 171.9 lb-ft of torque at 1200 RPM, providing steady power for specialized agricultural tasks.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 2140 utilizes a partially synchronized transmission. It is available in two configurations: an 8-speed or a 12-speed version, both featuring a mechanical shuttle lever for direction changes. The powertrain is equipped with a 280mm dry disc clutch and is available in either two-wheel or four-wheel drive variants to suit varying terrain requirements.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system is an open-center design with a pump flow capacity of 15.6 gpm (59.0 lpm), supporting one or two valves. The independent rear PTO offers three selectable speeds—540, 750, and 1000 RPM—allowing for versatile implement operation. The rear hitch, categorized as I/II, provides a lift capacity of up to 5575 lbs depending on the specific model configuration.
Mechanical and Dimensions
Designed for orchard and vineyard work, the tractor features hydrostatic power steering and wet disc brakes for reliable control. The machine is fitted with a two-post forward-folding ROPS as standard, with an optional cab available. Its compact width, ranging from 47.8 to 53.7 inches, ensures passage through narrow crop rows.
Conclusion
The Case IH 2140 is a robust, compact tractor engineered specifically for orchard and vineyard environments. Its combination of selectable PTO speeds, hydraulic capacity, and narrow dimensions makes it a specialized tool for farmers requiring precise handling in high-density planting applications.
