The independent rear PTO supports both 540 and 1000 RPM speeds, allowing for broad compatibility with various powered implements.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The Case 1594 features an open-center hydraulic system with a total flow of 20.1 gpm (76.1 lpm) at a system pressure of 2600 psi. The rear hitch is a Category II type, capable of lifting up to 7,440 lbs (3374 kg) at the link ends, ensuring the machine can handle significant implement loads.
Mechanical and Dimensions
Available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations, the tractor utilizes hydrostatic power steering and differential hydraulic wet disc brakes for controlled operation. It rests on a 100-inch wheelbase and is available with either a ROPS or a full cab enclosure, depending on the operator's requirements.
