Introduction

J.I. Case 2096 Row-Crop Tractor

The J.I. Case 2096 is a row-crop tractor manufactured in Racine, Wisconsin, between 1984 and 1989. Designed for heavy-duty agricultural operations, it was available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations, delivering 128 horsepower.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by a 5.9-liter, 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. It operates at a rated speed of 2100 RPM with a compression ratio of 16.5:1. The engine cooling system has a capacity of 20.8 liters, while the lubrication system requires 15.1 liters of oil. The intake is managed by a dual paper element air cleaner system.

Transmission and Drivetrain

The machine utilizes a three-speed power shift transmission providing 12 forward and 3 reverse gears. This system allows for on-the-go shifting across four ranges, although reverse is not available in the fourth range. It is equipped with power steering and differential hydraulic wet disc brakes for enhanced control.

Hydraulics and Hitch

The hydraulic system features a closed-center design with a pump flow capacity of 87.1 liters per minute and an operating pressure of 155.1 bar. It includes two control valves. The rear hitch is a Category II type with a lift capacity of 3,742 kg at 610 mm behind the lift point.

Operator Environment and Dimensions

The tractor is standard with a two-post folding ROPS, with an optional climate-controlled cab available. The wheelbase measures 274 cm, and the unit offers a ground clearance of 40 cm. Tread widths for both front and rear axles are adjustable to accommodate various row-crop spacings.

Conclusion

The J.I. Case 2096 is a robust, mid-range row-crop tractor engineered for high-demand field tasks. Its combination of a high-torque 6-cylinder engine, power shift transmission, and significant hydraulic lift capacity makes it suitable for intensive tillage and heavy implement operation.
