Introduction
Case IH Farmall 50: Compact Utility Tractor
The Case IH Farmall 50 is a compact utility tractor produced between 2008 and 2011 in Dublin, Georgia, USA. Part of the Farmall utility series, this machine was designed to provide versatility for agricultural tasks, offering both economy-focused configurations and deluxe models equipped with advanced transmission technology.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a liquid-cooled, four-cylinder Shibaura N844L diesel engine. With a displacement of 2.2 liters, it delivers a gross power output of 50 hp (37.3 kW) at a rated speed of 2800 RPM. The engine features a dual-element air cleaner and glow plug pre-heating for reliable cold-weather operation.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Two transmission options were available: a 12-speed Synchro Shuttle transmission with four synchronized gears across three ranges, or a mechanical Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). The CVT version utilizes a steel chain between variable-diameter pulleys and provides three speed modes with variable reactivity, controlled by a left-hand shuttle lever. The tractor is equipped with a four-wheel-drive system and wet disc brakes for enhanced traction and stopping power.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system features a total flow of 14.9 gpm (56.4 lpm), with 9.8 gpm dedicated to implements and 5.1 gpm directed to the hydrostatic power steering. The rear hitch is a Type I system with position control, capable of a lift capacity of 2,330 lbs (1,056 kg) at 24 inches behind the hitch point. The tractor includes an independent 540 RPM rear PTO, with an optional 2000 RPM mid-mount PTO available on CVT-equipped models.
Operator Environment and Dimensions
The platform is available with either a two-post foldable ROPS or a factory-installed cab featuring air-conditioning. The tractor has a wheelbase of 73.5 inches and a minimum width of 66.6 inches. Shipping weight varies by configuration, with the ROPS shuttle model weighing approximately 3,522 lbs and the CVT cab model weighing 4,136 lbs.
Conclusion
The Case IH Farmall 50 serves as a capable compact utility tractor suitable for a range of agricultural and groundskeeping applications. Its availability in both simplified mechanical configurations and advanced CVT-cab versions allows it to meet the needs of operators ranging from hobby farmers to those requiring more precise control for varied implement work.
