Introduction
Case IH STX480QT Articulated Crawler Tractor
The Case IH STX480QT is a heavy-duty articulated crawler tractor produced in Fargo, North Dakota, USA. As part of the STX series, this machine is engineered for high-draft agricultural and industrial applications requiring significant tractive effort and stability.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Cummins QSX15 turbocharged diesel engine. This 14.9-liter, 6-cylinder, 24-valve unit delivers 480 horsepower (357.9 kW) at a rated speed of 2000 RPM. The engine features a liquid-cooling system to maintain thermal stability during sustained high-load operations.
Transmission and Drive
Power is transferred through a full power shift transmission offering 16 forward and 2 reverse gears. The drivetrain utilizes electro-hydraulic wet disc clutches and offset 3-planetary final drives. The articulated crawler configuration, equipped with 30-inch tracks, provides enhanced weight distribution and traction compared to wheeled counterparts.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system is pressure flow compensated, featuring a primary pump flow of 40 gpm (151.4 lpm), with options for high-flow (55 gpm) or Twin-Flow (90 gpm) configurations to accommodate demanding implements. The rear hitch is a category IVN type with a lift capacity of 19,728 lbs (8,948 kg) measured at 24 inches behind the lift point.
Operator Environment
The tractor is equipped with the Surveyor cab as standard, which includes air conditioning. Optional configurations offer a luxury cab environment featuring leather trim and upgraded seating to improve operator comfort during extended field hours.
Conclusion
With its robust Cummins engine, high-capacity hydraulic system, and articulated track drive, the Case IH STX480QT is designed for large-scale farming operations that require consistent power for heavy tillage and traction tasks.
