Introduction
Case International 885 Utility Tractor
The Case International 885 is an agricultural utility tractor produced between 1985 and 1990 in Doncaster, England. Part of a broader series of utility tractors, this model is designed to provide reliable mechanical performance for varied field operations.
Engine and Powertrain
The tractor is powered by the Case International D-268, a 4.4-liter, 4-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine. It generates a net power output of 79 hp (58.9 kW) at a rated speed of 2400 RPM, with a peak torque of 205 lb-ft at 1600 RPM. The engine features a 15.1:1 compression ratio and is paired with a 12-volt starting system.
Transmission Options
Operators can choose between three transmission configurations to suit specific tasks. Options include a synchronized 8-speed forward and 4-reverse gearbox, an 8-speed shuttle transmission for efficient directional changes, or a 16-speed transmission featuring a two-speed electric-hydraulic power shift between direct and low drive. All versions utilize a 305mm dry disc clutch.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system utilizes an open-center gear pump providing a total flow of 15.8 gpm (up to 18.6 gpm with optional configuration) at a pressure of 2500 psi. The tractor is equipped with 1 to 3 remote valves. For implement operation, it features an independent dual-shaft rear PTO with selectable 540 and 1000 RPM speeds, and a Category II rear hitch with a lift capacity of 3260 lbs (1478 kg) at 24 inches behind the lift point.
Chassis and Operator Environment
Built on a chassis available in either two-wheel or four-wheel drive, the 885 includes power steering and independent hydraulic wet disc brakes. The operator station comes standard with a Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS), with an optional factory cab featuring integrated heating and air conditioning to facilitate year-round operation.
Conclusion
The Case International 885 is a mid-range utility tractor engineered for versatility and durability. Its combination of multiple transmission choices, high-flow hydraulics, and flexible tread settings makes it well-suited for general tillage, transport, and PTO-driven implement work on mid-sized agricultural operations.
