Introduction
Case IH 9170 Four-Wheel Drive Tractor
The Case IH 9170 is a heavy-duty four-wheel-drive tractor produced between 1986 and 1990 in Fargo, North Dakota, USA. Designed for large-scale agricultural operations, this model emphasizes high pulling capacity and structural durability.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Cummins NTA-855, a 14.0-liter, 6-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine. It features both turbocharging and intercooling to achieve a gross power output of 335 horsepower (249.8 kW). The engine is tuned for high torque, delivering 1131 lb-ft (1533.6 Nm) at a rated speed of 1400 RPM, which provides the necessary pulling force for heavy tillage and draft work.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Power is transferred via a full power shift transmission offering 12 forward and 2 reverse gears, allowing for on-the-go shifting without clutch engagement. The drivetrain utilizes a hydraulic wet disc clutch and outboard planetary final drives to manage the high torque requirements of a four-wheel-drive configuration. Steering is facilitated by a hydrostatic power system, and braking is handled by hydraulic disc brakes.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system utilizes a closed-center design, providing a total flow of 40 gallons per minute (151.4 liters per minute) at a pressure of 2500 psi. The system supports 3 to 4 valves for implement control. The rear hitch is a Category IV configuration, capable of lifting up to 14,000 lbs (6350 kg). An independent 1000 RPM rear PTO is available as an option.
Dimensions and Operator Environment
The tractor has a wheelbase of 141.3 inches (358 cm) and an overall length of 279.5 inches (709 cm). The shipping weight is 13,154 kg, with a maximum operating weight capacity of 18,144 kg. The operator station consists of a standard cab equipped with air-conditioning to maintain comfort during extended field operations.
Conclusion
The Case IH 9170 is engineered for demanding tasks requiring significant traction and consistent hydraulic power. Its combination of a high-torque Cummins engine and a robust power shift transmission makes it a suitable machine for primary cultivation and large-acreage farming.
