Introduction
Case IH 5250: Technical Specifications and Overview
The Case IH 5250 is a mid-range agricultural tractor produced between 1992 and 1997. Designed as part of the 5200 series, it serves as a versatile machine for general farming operations, combining a turbocharged diesel engine with a power-shift transmission architecture.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 5.9-liter, 6-cylinder CDC turbocharged diesel engine. It is liquid-cooled and operates at a rated speed of 2200 RPM. This engine configuration delivers 124 horsepower, providing the necessary torque for field work and heavy-duty traction.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 5250 offers multiple transmission configurations, including a 16-speed forward and 12-speed reverse power-shift gearbox, featuring four power-shift gears across four synchronized ranges. A creeper option is also available, expanding the range to 24 forward and 20 reverse gears for specialized slow-speed tasks. The tractor is available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive variants.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system utilizes a closed-center, pressure-flow compensated design, capable of delivering a pump flow of 20 gpm (75.7 lpm) at 2600 psi. It supports one to three remote valves. The rear Category II hitch features lower-link draft sensing and provides a lifting capacity of 7700 lbs (3492 kg) at the hitch point.
Operator Environment and Mechanicals
The machine comes standard with an air-conditioned cab for operator comfort. Mechanical control is facilitated by power steering and hydraulic wet disc brakes. The rear power take-off (PTO) is independent and electro-hydraulically engaged, offering both 540 and 1000 RPM speeds.
Conclusion
The Case IH 5250 is a robust, multi-purpose tractor suitable for a wide range of agricultural applications. Its combination of a reliable 5.9L engine, flexible transmission options, and substantial hydraulic capacity makes it a dependable choice for farmers requiring consistent performance in field tasks.
