Introduction
Case IH CX60 Utility Tractor
The Case IH CX60 is a utility tractor produced in Doncaster, England, between 1998 and 2002. It belongs to a series that includes the CX50 and CX70 models, designed to provide a versatile platform for diverse agricultural and utility tasks.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Perkins 903.27T, a 3-cylinder, 2.7-liter turbocharged diesel engine. It delivers a gross power output of 64 hp (47.7 kW) and a net power of 60 hp (44.7 kW). The engine utilizes mechanical direct injection with 5-hole injectors and operates with a compression ratio of 17.25:1. Cooling is managed by a liquid-cooled system with a capacity of 11.9 liters, and the engine is designed for a rated speed of 2250 RPM.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The CX60 offers three transmission configurations to suit operational needs: an 8-speed synchro shuttle, a 16-speed partial power shift, or a 24-speed creeper transmission. All variants feature a 12-inch dry disc clutch. The drivetrain is available in a standard 4x2 2WD configuration, with an optional 4x4 MFWD (Mechanical Front Wheel Drive) version. Steering is facilitated by a hydrostatic power system, and traction is managed via an electro-hydraulic differential lock.
Hydraulics and PTO
Equipped with an open-center hydraulic system, the tractor provides a total flow of 22.2 gpm (84.0 lpm) at a system pressure of 2500 psi (172.4 bar). The rear hitch is a Category II/I type with electronic upper link control, capable of lifting up to 3,665 lbs (1,662 kg). The independent rear PTO operates at 540 RPM, with an optional dual-shaft configuration allowing for both 540 and 1000 RPM operation.
Operator Environment and Dimensions
The operator station features a two-post ROPS structure with a flat platform, with an optional air-conditioned cab available for improved comfort. The tractor has a wheelbase of 84.8 inches for the 2WD model and 87.2 inches for the 4WD model. Braking is handled by differential hydraulic wet disc brakes.
Conclusion
The Case IH CX60 serves as a reliable utility tractor for farms requiring a balance of power, maneuverability, and varied transmission options. Its design, characterized by the Perkins powertrain and flexible hydraulic capabilities, makes it suitable for a wide range of light-to-medium agricultural implements.
