Case IH adds to utility tractor line: JX High Clearance
Case IH has designed the JX High Clearance range specifically to meet the unique needs of row crop growers. Available in either 2-wheel drive (2WD) or mechanical front-wheel drive (MFD) configurations, the front axle ground clearance on the 2WD JX High Clearance is 731.5 mm and 622.3 mm on the MFD. Both the 2WD and MFD have 652.8 mm of clearance under the drawbar, allowing the operator to work without damaging the crop. Tyre track widths can be adjusted depending upon the crop's row spacing. The tractor uses a Tier II emission-compliant, turbocharged, Case IH engine with four cylinders and an under-hood exhaust muffler that reduces noise levels. For simple service, a single-piece engine hood is gas strut assisted for best-in-class accessibility. For operator comfort, convenience and productivity, the JX High Clearance operator platform has a tilt-adjustable steering column; easy-to-read instrumentation; a wide, comfortable seat that is mechanically suspended; two post- foldable ROPS and an isolation mounted platform or comfortable cab with powerful climate control system.
