Introduction
Case IH 235 Compact Utility Tractor
The Case IH 235 is a compact utility tractor produced by Mitsubishi and distributed by Case IH between 1986 and 1990. Designed for versatility in small-scale farming, landscaping, and property maintenance, this model bridges the gap between garden equipment and full-sized agricultural machinery.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 0.8-liter, three-cylinder Mitsubishi diesel engine. This liquid-cooled unit produces a net power output of 18 hp (13.4 kW) at a rated speed of 2700 RPM. The engine configuration ensures a balance between fuel efficiency and the torque required for light-duty utility tasks.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Operators can choose between a gear-driven transmission featuring 6 forward and 2 reverse speeds, or a two-range hydrostatic transmission that provides infinite speed control. The machine is available in both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive configurations, allowing for improved traction on varied terrain.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system provides a total flow of 3.4 gpm (12.9 lpm) with a system capacity of 3.1 gallons (11.7 L). The rear Category I three-point hitch offers a lift capacity of 1,035 lbs (469 kg) at the ends, making it compatible with a range of compact implements.
Power Take-Off (PTO)
Equipped with a standard 540 RPM rear PTO, the 235 also supports a mid-PTO configuration, facilitating the use of mid-mounted mowers. Optional front PTO capabilities are also available to further extend the versatility of the tractor for specialized attachments.
Conclusion
The Case IH 235 remains a capable compact utility solution for operators requiring a maneuverable machine with a 56-inch wheelbase. Its robust engine and flexible transmission options make it well-suited for general maintenance and light agricultural applications.
