Introduction
Case IH 7240 Row-Crop Tractor
The Case IH 7240 is a high-capacity row-crop tractor produced between 1994 and 1996 in Racine, Wisconsin, USA. Part of the 7200 series, this model was designed to handle demanding field operations with a focus on engine performance and hydraulic versatility.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 6-cylinder, 8.3-liter (504.5 ci) turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine. It generates a rated 216 horsepower at 2200 RPM. The engine utilizes a mechanical fuel injection system and liquid cooling, with a 29.3-liter coolant capacity, ensuring sustained operation under heavy loads.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 7240 offers two transmission configurations: a standard 18-speed full power shift or an optional 24-speed creeper transmission. Both systems utilize a hydraulic wet disc clutch, allowing for seamless gear transitions. The tractor is available in either two-wheel or four-wheel drive, supported by power steering and differential hydraulic wet disc brakes.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system is a closed-center, pressure flow compensated (PFC) setup. It provides a pump flow of 25 gpm (94.6 lpm) and a total flow of 29 gpm (109.8 lpm), operating at a pressure of 2300 psi. The Category III rear hitch features electronic lower-link draft sensing, capable of lifting up to 12,760 lbs (5,787 kg), with an optional capacity of 14,950 lbs.
Operator Environment and Dimensions
The tractor comes standard with a climate-controlled cab. It features a wheelbase of 118.3 inches and is typically equipped with 20.8R-42 rear agricultural tires. The machine includes an independent rear PTO operating at 1000 RPM using a 1.75-inch shaft.
Conclusion
The Case IH 7240 is a robust, high-horsepower tractor engineered for large-scale row-crop farming. Its combination of a full power shift transmission, high-capacity hydraulic output, and heavy-duty hitch makes it suitable for intensive primary tillage and demanding implement management.
