The Case IH 3220 is a utility tractor produced between 1994 and 1997 at the Doncaster plant in England. Part of a lineage bridging the 495 and CX series, this model was designed for general agricultural operations requiring a balance of maneuverability and reliable power.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by the Case D179, a 2.9-liter, 3-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine. It generates a net power output of 50 hp (37.3 kW) at a rated speed of 2180 RPM. The engine cooling system features a 11.4-liter capacity, and it is equipped with a dry-type air cleaner. Optional cold-weather starting aids include a thermostart system or ether injection.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 3220 offers multiple transmission configurations to suit specific farming requirements, ranging from a standard 8-speed synchromesh to a 16-speed partial power shift or a synchromesh creeper variant. All configurations utilize an 11-inch dry cerametallic clutch. The drivetrain is available in either two-wheel or four-wheel drive, featuring planetary final drives and a mechanical differential lock.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system utilizes an open-center design with a total flow capacity of 14.7 gpm (55.6 lpm) and a system pressure of 2500 psi. It supports up to three valves for implement control. The rear power take-off (PTO) is independent, operating at 540 RPM, with an optional 540/1000 RPM configuration available.
Hitch and Dimensions
Equipped with a Category II rear three-point hitch, the tractor provides draft and position control with a maximum lift capacity of 3,665 lbs (1662 kg). The 2WD model features a wheelbase of 79.8 inches, while the 4WD version extends to 83.2 inches, providing stability for various field tasks.
