Introduction
Case IH 5230 Utility Tractor
The Case IH 5230 is a utility tractor produced between 1992 and 1997, designed to serve a wide range of agricultural applications. Part of a lineage that includes the 5130, 5220, and 5240 models, this machine is engineered for field versatility and consistent operational performance.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 6-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine with a displacement of 359 cubic inches (5.9 L). It utilizes direct injection technology and is designed to operate at a rated speed of 2200 RPM. This power unit provides the necessary torque for demanding field tasks.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 5230 offers two transmission configurations: a synchronized manual gearbox or a 4-speed power shift system. Both options provide 16 forward and 12 reverse gears, featuring shuttle shifting capabilities. The tractor is available in either two-wheel or four-wheel drive variants, supported by an electro-hydraulic rear differential lock for improved traction in challenging conditions.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system is a closed-center, pressure-flow compensated design, delivering a pump flow of 20 gpm (75.7 lpm) at a pressure of 2600 psi (179.3 bar). The rear PTO is independent, utilizing an electro-hydraulic wet disc clutch, and offers dual speed settings of 540 and 1000 RPM. The rear hitch has a lift capacity of 7700 lbs (3492 kg).
Mechanical and Operator Environment
Standard mechanical features include power steering and hydraulic wet disc brakes. The tractor comes with a two-post fixed ROPS as standard equipment, with an optional cab featuring air-conditioning available for increased operator comfort. The machine is built on a wheelbase of approximately 101.8 inches for 4WD models.
Conclusion
The Case IH 5230 is a robust utility tractor suited for medium-scale farming operations that require a balance of hydraulic capacity, transmission flexibility, and reliable power. Its design focuses on mechanical simplicity and operational efficiency, making it a capable workhorse for various implements and field conditions.
