Introduction
Case IH STX280 Four-Wheel Drive Tractor
The Case IH STX280 is a heavy-duty, four-wheel drive tractor produced between 2006 and 2007 at the Case IH facility in Fargo, North Dakota, USA. Designed for large-scale agricultural operations, this machine focuses on high-torque performance and operational durability.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 6-cylinder, 24-valve, 8.3-liter turbocharged CDC diesel engine. It delivers 280 horsepower (208.8 kW) at a rated speed of 2000 RPM. The engine features a liquid-cooling system and a 4.49 by 5.32-inch bore-to-stroke ratio to maintain consistent power output during demanding field operations.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The STX280 offers two transmission configurations: a 16-speed full power shift or a 24-speed fully synchronized Synchroshift transmission. Both options utilize electro-hydraulic or wet-disc clutches for smooth gear transitions. The drivetrain features a permanent four-wheel drive system with inboard 3-planetary final drives to manage high torque loads effectively.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system utilizes a pressure-flow compensated design, providing a standard pump flow of 40 gpm (151.4 lpm), with optional high-capacity configurations reaching up to 75 gpm (283.9 lpm). The rear hitch is a Category IVN/III type, capable of lifting up to 15,669 lbs (7,107 kg) at 24 inches behind the lift point.
Operator Environment
The tractor comes standard with the Surveyor cab, which includes air conditioning for climate control. The steering is managed via a hydrostatic power system, and safety is handled by integrated hydraulic wet disc brakes. An optional luxury cab package, featuring leather interior trim and upgraded seating, is available for extended work periods.
Conclusion
With a maximum operating weight of 39,600 lbs and robust hydraulic and transmission options, the Case IH STX280 is engineered for heavy-duty primary tillage and large-scale implement management in professional agricultural settings.
