Introduction

Case 2394 Row-Crop Tractor

The Case 2394 is a two-wheel drive row-crop tractor manufactured by J.I. Case in Racine, Wisconsin, between 1984 and 1988. Part of the 2394 series, this machine was engineered to provide high-horsepower performance for large-scale agricultural operations.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by a liquid-cooled, six-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine with a displacement of 8.3 liters (504 ci). It produces a rated power of 197 horsepower at 2100 RPM. The engine cooling system features a 41.6-liter capacity, while the lubrication system holds 28.4 liters of oil, ensuring stable thermal management during heavy traction duties.

Transmission and Drivetrain

The 2394 offers two power-shift transmission configurations. The standard three-speed power shift provides 12 forward and 3 reverse speeds, while the optional four-speed power shift increases flexibility with 24 forward and 3 reverse speeds. Both systems utilize a hydraulic wet disc clutch, allowing for seamless gear changes under load across four working ranges.

Hydraulics and Hitch

The hydraulic system is a closed-center design operating at a pressure of 2250 psi. It delivers a main pump flow of 27 gpm (102.2 lpm), with an additional 8 gpm (30.3 lpm) dedicated to steering. The rear Category III three-point hitch provides a lift capacity of 7,750 lbs (3,515 kg) at 24 inches behind the lift point, compatible with a wide range of heavy implements.

Operator Environment

The tractor is equipped with the 'Silent Guardian' cab, which includes factory-installed air conditioning to enhance operator comfort during extended field operations. Maneuverability is facilitated by a power steering system, while safety is managed by reliable wet disc brakes.

Conclusion

With its robust 197-horsepower engine, versatile power-shift transmission options, and substantial hydraulic capacity, the Case 2394 is a heavy-duty tractor suited for demanding field work, such as primary tillage and large-scale planting applications.
