Introduction
Case IH 8920 Row-Crop Tractor
The Case IH 8920 is a row-crop tractor produced between 1997 and 1998 at the Case IH facility in Racine, Wisconsin. Positioned as a robust machine for demanding agricultural applications, it delivers 172 horsepower through a liquid-cooled, 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by an 8.3-liter (504.5 cubic inch) engine featuring a mechanical injection fuel system and a dual dry element air cleaner. It operates at a rated speed of 2200 RPM and utilizes a 16.5:1 compression ratio, ensuring consistent power delivery for intensive field tasks.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 8920 offers two transmission configurations: a standard 18-speed full power shift or an optional 24-speed creeper transmission. Both systems utilize an electro-hydraulic wet disc clutch. The drivetrain includes a differential lock and hydraulic wet disc brakes, with options for either two-wheel or four-wheel drive.
Hydraulics and Hitch
Equipped with a closed-center, pressure-flow compensated hydraulic system, the tractor provides a pump flow of 29 gpm (109.8 lpm) and a maximum operating pressure of 2200 psi. The rear hitch is a Category III/IIIN type featuring electronic lower-link draft sensing, capable of lifting up to 10,000 lbs (4,536 kg).
Operator Environment and Dimensions
The tractor comes standard with an air-conditioned cab, power steering, and an ergonomic control layout. With a wheelbase of 118.3 inches, it is designed for stability. The electrical system is powered by a dual-battery setup providing 950 CCA, supported by a 110-amp charging system.
