The Case International 844 XL is a tractor belonging to the group of agricultural tractors, manufactured in 1987. As part of the Case International model range, this model positions itself as a compact unit for field and farm use. The design is based on a four-cylinder engine with a displacement of 4,380 cm³, delivering an output of 44 kW. This technical foundation defines the machine's character as a handy implement for medium-duty agricultural tasks.
The output of 44 kW enables the pulling of mounted implements such as plows, cultivators, or mowers that do not require the full capacity of large tractors. With an unladen weight of 4,330 kg and a length of 3,970 mm, the tractor remains maneuverable enough for tight yard maneuvers and use inside barns. The permissible gross vehicle weight of 7,000 kg allows for a moderate payload, supporting the transport of feedstuffs or the use of heavier rear-mounted implements within the permissible load limits. The width of 2,150 mm determines the clearance width in barns and on paths.
The transmission with 24 gears offers a fine gradation of driving speeds, which is advantageous when adapting to various soil conditions and working speeds. Within the available data series, the 844 XL represents a specific variant characterized by the combination of four cylinders and the stated output. This configuration is particularly suitable for tasks such as mowing, fertilizing, or light plowing on medium-sized areas, as it combines sufficient traction with good visibility.
Case International – other models: the collective page of tractors outside the named ranges, from the XL series (844XL, 885XL, 1255XL, 1455XL) through the 4230 to the Maxxum MXM 140 to 190, 44 to 240 kW
This page gathers the Case tractors the register could not assign to a named range – from the years when, after the 1985 merger between the J. I. Case Company and International Harvester's agricultural division, the brand traded as Case International until 1999, before it became Case IH. The three- and four-digit types such as 844XL, 885XL, 956, 1255XL and 1455XL belong to the 85 series, whose number approximates the power class in hp; the XL suffix marks the long-wheelbase, larger-cab version, AXL its four-wheel-drive counterpart. The MXM 140 to 190 types stand for the Maxxum range, with which Case IH designated its mid-range from 2000, while the CASE IH MAXX PRO 5150-4 and International Maxum 5150 A show further versions of the same power class from that transitional period. 4X4 in the name always marks four-wheel drive, and the four-digit 4230 the more compact mid-range of the series.

The register lists here 20 versions with 44 to 240 kW from four- to six-cylinders of 3,370 to 7,485 cm³, unladen weights from 2,900 to 8,440 kg, gross weights from 4,670 to 12,000 kg, lengths from 3,780 to 5,000 mm and widths from 1,780 to 2,600 mm.
Case International and its successor Case IH have belonged to CNH Industrial since the 1999 merger of Case with New Holland, and alongside John Deere, New Holland and Massey Ferguson count among the big tractor brands of Western agriculture. The models gathered here mark the transition from the classic 85 series to the Maxxum generation and so cover the mid and upper classes of the 1980s to 2000s.
On used tractors, engine condition, clutch and hydraulic pump count on the XL types of the 85 series, the front axle and transfer case on the four-wheel-drive models, operating hours, electronics and PTO on the MXM Maxxum types; rust on mudguards and cab floor needs checking on every year. Parts run through the Case IH and CNH network.
