Introduction
Case IH 8940 Row-Crop Tractor
The Case IH 8940 is a high-horsepower row-crop tractor produced between 1997 and 1998 in Racine, Wisconsin. It was designed as part of the manufacturer's heavy-duty lineup to serve large-scale agricultural operations requiring significant traction and implement management.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by an 8.3-liter (504.5 ci) 6-cylinder turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine. It utilizes a mechanical fuel injection system and operates at a rated speed of 2200 RPM. The engine features a 16.5:1 compression ratio and liquid cooling to maintain thermal efficiency during sustained heavy-load operations.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 8940 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, allowing for seamless gear changes under load. The machine is available in either two-wheel or four-wheel drive configurations.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system is a closed-center, pressure-flow compensated design providing a pump flow of 29 gpm (109.8 lpm) at 2200 psi. It supports between two and four remote valves. The rear hitch is a Category III/IIIN type featuring electronic lower-link draft sensing, with a standard lift capacity of 13,750 lbs (6,237 kg) and an optional capacity of 16,000 lbs (7,257 kg).
Operator Environment
The tractor is equipped with a standard factory cab including air conditioning to ensure operator comfort. Control systems include power steering and differential hydraulic wet disc brakes, complemented by an electric rear differential lock for improved traction in difficult field conditions.
Conclusion
With its 227 hp rating, robust hydraulic capacity, and flexible transmission options, the Case IH 8940 remains a reliable choice for professional agricultural tasks, particularly those involving row-crop cultivation and heavy implement operation.
