CASE 90 Series Tractor Introduction Promotional Video

Описание: The 90 Series marked J.I. Case’s jump into “modern” styling and engineering for the 1980– 83 seasons, spanning both conventional row-crop and articulated 4-wheel-drive platforms. Row-crop models used Case’s own turbo-diesel sixes: a 451 cu in (7.4 L) block in the 2090 (≈108 PTO hp) and 2290 (≈129 PTO hp), and a 504 cu in (8.3 L) block in the 2390 (≈161 PTO hp) and 2590 (≈200 PTO hp). Articulated “4WD 90 Series” machines carried the same 8.3 L engine in the 4490 (≈175 PTO hp) and 4690 (≈219 PTO hp), while the flagship 4890 adopted an 11 L Saab-Scania turbo-six good for roughly 300 PTO hp. All versions shared a 12-speed, three-range Power-Shift (four on-the-go gears in each range), closed-center hydraulics delivering 21 gpm on row-crops or up to 31 gpm on 4WDs, a 540/1000 or 1000-rpm independent PTO, and the “Silent Guardian” isolation cab that finally put Case on par with the quiet interiors of its Deere and IH rivals.

Launched in late 1979 as a clean-sheet successor to the 70 Series, the 90s were the last tractors engineered entirely by Case before the company’s 1983 merger with International Harvester, which birthed the Case IH brand and led directly to the cosmetically updated—but electrically shifted—94 Series in 1984. Their combination of robust in-house engines, simplified mechanical-linkage Power-Shift, and roomy cab resonated with mid-western corn and wheat operations, yet the timing was cruel: U.S. farm-income collapse and high interest rates held total production under 25 000 units. Even so, the tractors earned a reputation for torque, lugging power, and straightforward service, and many 2090s through 4890s remain at work—or highly prized by collectors—as the swan song of “pure” orange-and-white J.I. Case engineering.
