What's new
CASE 4-WHEEL
DRIVE TRACTOR
J I Case Company has
introduced the 2870 Traction
King, a new 4-wheel drive
tractor with manufacturer’s
ratings of 300 engine hp and
250 pto hp. With introduction
of the 2870, Case now offers
three 4-wheel drive models
designed to meet the
growing demand for high
horsepower tractors.
Power for the new tractor
is furnished by a tur
bocharged, 674 cubic inch,
six cylinder in-line diesel
engine. The four cycle power
plant has a 15.1 to 1
compression ratio. A
stratotube precleaner
removes 95 per cent of
foreign material from engine
intake air before it reaches
the primary and secondary
safety air filter elements.
Fuel passes through a three
stage filtering system and is
then injected into the engine
by a multi-plunger pump.
Twin fuel tanks have a
combined capacity of 150
gallons. Engine hood flips up
for easy servicing of the
power plant.
Standard equipment in
cludes a Case 12-speed range
power shift offering three on
the-go speed choices in each
of four ranges. Forward
speeds are from two to 14.67
mph, reverse from 3.37 to
14.67 mph. Standard torque
proportioning differentials
automatically transfer
power to working wheels
with the firmest footing.
