Case IH 845 XL (A): field tractor with a water-cooled 4,389cc four-cylinder diesel, 58.8 kW of power and 296 Nm of torque at 2,300 rpm
Case IH was formed in 1985 from the merger of J.I. Case and International Harvester's agricultural equipment division. The B family covered the mid power range through the 1990s, with the XL designation marking the somewhat more powerful, better equipped variant within a series.

The 845 XL (A) carries a water-cooled four-cylinder diesel engine with 4,389 cc of displacement, producing 58.8 kW (80 hp) at 2,300 rpm and delivering 296 Nm of torque. At 3,680 mm long, 2,050 mm wide and with a 2,390 mm wheelbase, the machine weighs 3,660 kg; overall height is 2,670 mm and top speed is 30 km/h.
With four cylinders, 4.4 litres of displacement and a weight just under 3.7 tonnes, the 845 XL belongs to the class of medium-heavy to heavy field tractors used for ploughing, cultivating and haulage on larger farms. Torque of 296 Nm allows towing work even at lower engine speed, which reduces fuel consumption in continuous operation and eases strain on the drivetrain.
When buying a used 845 XL, the condition of the clutch and the injection pump seals matters, since these parts take particular strain under sustained load at this power level. Also worth checking are the tightness of the cooling system and hydraulics, and corrosion on the frame and mudguards, which is common on machines of this build year. It is also worth inspecting the brakes and the clutch discs.

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.
