Introduction
Case IH 3394 Row-Crop Tractor
The Case IH 3394 is a heavy-duty row-crop tractor produced between 1985 and 1987 in Racine, Wisconsin. As a key model within the 3294 and 3594 series, it was engineered to provide significant power and reliability for large-scale agricultural operations.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine with a displacement of 504 cubic inches (8.3 liters). It delivers 180 horsepower at a rated speed of 2100 RPM. The engine features a liquid-cooling system and a dual paper element air cleaner to maintain efficiency in dusty field conditions. It also includes a compression ratio of 15.8:1.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 3394 is equipped with a partial power shift transmission, offered in two configurations: a 24-speed (24 forward and 3 reverse) or a 12-speed (12 forward and 3 reverse) version. Both configurations utilize four ranges with multiple power shift gears per range, allowing for on-the-go shifting. The machine utilizes a four-wheel drive system to maximize traction, supported by differential hydraulic wet disc brakes for reliable stopping power.
Hydraulics and PTO
The tractor features a closed-center hydraulic system with a pump flow capacity of 30 gallons per minute (113.6 liters per minute). It is equipped with two to four valves to manage various implements. The rear hitch is a category III type with a lift capacity of 7,750 lbs (3515 kg) measured at 24 inches behind the hitch point. The independent rear PTO operates at 1000 RPM.
