Introduction
Case 3294 Row-Crop Tractor
The Case 3294 is a row-crop tractor manufactured by J.I. Case in Racine, Wisconsin, between 1984 and 1985. Designed for heavy-duty agricultural operations, this model represents the power and mechanical reliability characteristic of mid-1980s engineering.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a liquid-cooled, 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine with a displacement of 8.3 liters (504 ci). Producing 197 horsepower at a rated speed of 2100 RPM, it is engineered for high-torque tasks. The engine utilizes a 12-volt starting system and requires a cooling capacity of 41.6 liters.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 3294 features a three-speed power shift transmission with four ranges, providing a total of 12 forward and 3 reverse gears. This configuration allows for clutchless, on-the-move shifting within each range, enhancing operational efficiency. The vehicle is equipped with four-wheel drive to maximize traction, alongside power steering and wet disc brakes for controlled handling.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system is of the closed-center type, operating at a pressure of 2250 psi. It provides a pump flow of 23 gpm for auxiliary implements and 8 gpm for steering. The rear 3-point hitch is categorized as 3/2 and offers a lift capacity of 6,600 lbs measured at 24 inches behind the lift point.
Operator Environment and Dimensions
Operators are provided with the Silent Guardian cab, which includes factory-fitted air conditioning. The tractor has a wheelbase of 104 inches and a shipping weight of 17,000 lbs, with a maximum ballast capacity of 18,000 lbs. Rear tread width is adjustable between 60 and 112 inches to accommodate various row spacings.
Conclusion
The Case 3294 is a robust, high-horsepower row-crop tractor suitable for large-scale farming operations requiring consistent pulling power and operational flexibility. Its combination of a power-shift transmission and a high-capacity closed-center hydraulic system makes it a versatile machine for demanding field work.
