Introduction

Case IH 7230 Row-Crop Tractor

The Case IH 7230 is a row-crop tractor produced between 1994 and 1996 in Racine, Wisconsin, USA. It belongs to the 7200 series, representing a standard for heavy-duty agricultural operations of that era.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by an 8.3-liter, 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. It features an inline liquid-cooled design with mechanical fuel injection, rated at 2200 RPM. With a power output of 188 hp, the engine is engineered to sustain high-torque demands in various field conditions.

Transmission and Drivetrain

The drivetrain offers two primary configurations: a standard 18-speed full power shift transmission or an optional 24-speed creeper transmission. Both systems utilize a hydraulic wet disc clutch, providing smooth gear transitions. The tractor is available in either two-wheel or four-wheel drive, equipped with an electric rear differential lock.

Hydraulics and Hitch

The hydraulic system utilizes a closed-center pressure flow compensated (PFC) design, delivering a total flow of 29 gpm (109.8 lpm) at a pressure of 2300 psi. It supports 2 to 4 valves. The rear hitch is a category III/IIIN type, featuring electronic lower-link draft sensing and a maximum lift capacity of 10,875 lbs (4,932 kg).

Operator Environment and Dimensions

The machine is equipped with a standard cab featuring integrated air conditioning to maintain operator comfort. It rides on a 118.3-inch wheelbase, with front tread adjustments ranging from 60 to 95 inches on 4WD models. Steering is power-assisted, and braking is managed by differential hydraulic wet disc brakes.

Conclusion

The Case IH 7230 is a robust, high-horsepower row-crop tractor designed for demanding agricultural field work. Its combination of a high-capacity hydraulic system, flexible transmission options, and operator-focused cabin makes it a reliable choice for heavy-duty traction and implement management.
