Case Delivers Year-Round 4WD Tractor
RACINE. Wis. J I Case re
cently began production of its
largest tractor capable of 30-inch
row-crop work. Equipped with an
optional steerable front axle, the
300-horsepower Case Internation
al 9250 can negotiate turns within
a radius as tight as* 12.2 feet.
“This option makes the 9250 a
year-round tractor, efficient for
row-crop as well as tillage work,”
said Kelly Kravig, Case product
manager, four-wheel-drive trac
tors. “In combination with the
9250’s articulated design, the
steerable front axle gives the ma
chine unprecedented maneuver
ability with the stability of a large
tractor. Operators have found they
can even make in-row corrections
without tail wag."
The 9250 Row-Crop Special In
corporates the same state-of-the
art technology as the standard
9250. This includes a 12-speed,
full powershift transmission with
Case-exclusive Skip-Shift™ shift
ing which lakes the tractor from
first to eighth gear in just three
seconds for more accurate chemi
cal application and safer transport-
