Top speed is 25 km/h. Transmission: 16 V/12 R or 24 V/20 R. The engine is water-cooled. Tyres: front 7.50-18 ASF (DT: 14.9 R 24 AS), rear 18.4-34 AS (DT: 18.4 R 38 AS). The fuel is diesel. The bore measures 102 mm. The stroke is 120 mm. The compression ratio is 17.5:1. Maximum torque is reached at 1,107 rpm. Construction: semi-frame construction. Rated output across the Case IH range ranges from 31.4 to 500 hp; the 5230 (DT) sits at the bottom of that range with 99 hp. Its immediate neighbours are the JX 100 U (A) below it with 97 hp and the 5130 MAXXUM above it with 100 hp.

Case IH 5220 and 5230 (DT) – four-wheel-drive universal tractors of the 5200 range: four- and six-cylinder diesel engines of 69.1 to 72.8 kW, 321 to 355 Nm, 4,000 to 4,480 kg

Case IH's 5200 range belongs to the Maxxum generation of the 1990s and is represented here by the 5220 (DT) and 5230 (DT) types; at Case IH, the DT suffix stands for Dual Traction, the engageable four-wheel drive that distinguishes these models from the two-wheel-drive versions in the range. The number sequence orders the models by rising power within the 5200 series.

The register lists here 2 versions with 69.1 to 72.8 kW from four- to six-cylinder diesel engines of 3,922 to 5,883 cm³ displacement, torques from 321 to 355 Nm at a rated speed of 2,200 rpm, weights from 4,000 to 4,480 kg, lengths from 4,140 to 4,390 mm, widths from 2,025 to 2,438 mm and heights from 2,672 to 2,695 mm.

With four-wheel drive and this power class, the 5200 range occupied the mid-to-upper segment of the Case IH line-up and competed with comparable four-wheel-drive tractors from John Deere, Massey Ferguson and Fendt; the main use was on mixed arable farms needing pulling power for heavy cultivation and transport.

Buying one of these four-wheel-drive tractors used, the condition and play of the front axle and the four-wheel-drive clutch, the tightness of the engine and hydraulics, and the condition of the clutch and gearbox all matter; the electronics and wiring loom should also be checked for faults. Spare parts run through the Case IH dealer network, which remains well set up for this range.

What to check before buying

Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
