Introduction
CaseIH 585XL Utility Tractor
The CaseIH 585XL is a utility tractor produced between 1985 and 1990 at the manufacturing facility in Doncaster, England. It was designed as a versatile machine for general agricultural operations, available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by the CaseIH D-206, a 3.4-liter, four-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine. It generates a rated power of 60 horsepower (44.7 kW) at 2300 engine RPM. The engine produces a torque of 162.3 lb-ft at 1400 RPM, providing sufficient pulling capability for standard farming implements.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Two transmission configurations were available for the 585XL. The standard synchromesh transmission provides 8 forward and 4 reverse gears using four synchronized gears across two ranges. An optional Torque Amplifier transmission features a two-speed power shift, expanding the range to 16 forward and 8 reverse gears, allowing for on-the-move speed adjustments without clutching.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system operates at a pressure of 2500 psi (172.4 bar) with a pump flow capacity of 12.4 gpm. The rear hitch is a category II/I type, equipped with top link draft sensing, offering a lift capacity of 4400 lbs (1995 kg). The independent rear PTO supports both 540 and 1000 RPM speeds, engaged via a hydraulic wet disc clutch.
Mechanical and Dimensions
The machine features hydrostatic power steering and wet disc brakes for operator control. It comes equipped with the Secura cab as standard. The 2WD model has a wheelbase of 84.7 inches and weighs 6400 lbs, while the 4WD variant features an 85-inch wheelbase and a higher weight of 7200 lbs, reflecting its enhanced traction capabilities.
Conclusion
The CaseIH 585XL is a robust utility tractor suited for a variety of medium-duty agricultural tasks. Its combination of multiple transmission options, decent hydraulic lift capacity, and the availability of 4WD makes it a functional choice for diverse field work and general farm maintenance.
