Introduction
Case IH C80 Utility Tractor
The Case IH C80 is a utility tractor produced between 1998 and 2002 in Doncaster, England. As a key model within the C-series, it was engineered to provide reliable performance for general agricultural operations, offering both 2WD and optional 4WD configurations.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Perkins 1004.40T engine, a 4.0-liter, 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel unit. It produces a gross power output of 84 hp (62.6 kW) and a net power of 78 hp (58.2 kW) at a rated speed of 2200 RPM. The fuel system utilizes mechanical direct injection with 5-hole injectors, and the engine is liquid-cooled to maintain operational stability during extended use.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The C80 offers versatile transmission options to suit various field requirements, including a standard 8-speed forward and 4-speed reverse configuration. More advanced options include a 16-speed partial power shift and a creeper gear set for low-speed precision work. Power is transferred via a 12-inch dry disc clutch, and stopping power is provided by differential hydraulic wet disc brakes.
Hydraulics and Hitch
Equipped with an open-center hydraulic system, the tractor features a pump flow of 12.7 gpm (48.1 lpm) at a pressure of 2500 psi. It supports up to three hydraulic valves, providing sufficient control for various implements. The rear hitch is a Type II/I mechanical control system, offering a standard lift capacity of 3,665 lbs (1662 kg), with an optional upgrade available to 5,097 lbs (2311 kg).
Power Take-Off
The C80 is equipped with an independent rear PTO driven by a hydraulic wet disc clutch. The standard PTO operates at 540 RPM, with an optional dual-shaft configuration available to support both 540 and 1000 RPM, allowing for greater compatibility with different PTO-driven equipment.
Conclusion
The Case IH C80 is a robust utility tractor suited for a wide range of agricultural tasks. Its combination of a reliable Perkins engine, flexible transmission choices, and adequate hydraulic capacity makes it a practical machine for farmers requiring a dependable, mid-range utility tractor.
