Case IH Farmall – A, C and U: the compact utility class and what the letters mean
At Case IH, Farmall is today the family of compact and mid-size utility tractors – the name goes back to International Harvester's Farmall line, which shaped the row-crop tractor from the 1920s onward. Today's Farmalls share only the name with the historic models; they span the range from a yard-loader substitute to an all-rounder for grassland, municipal work and specialty crops.

The number in the name follows power, the letter the trim level: A marks the simply equipped entry version, C the more comfortable version with a better cab and hydraulics, U the utility class with more transmission options; suffixes such as PRO or EP denote equipment packages, Flatdeck a flat platform without a transmission tunnel. The engines come from within the group (FPT Industrial), mostly with three or four cylinders.
In the register the models run from 21 to 86 kW with 1,501 to 4,502 cm³ of displacement; PTO output lies between 25 and 90 hp, the rear linkage lifts 650 to 3,266 kg, and unladen weight ranges from about 1,154 to 4,740 kg. That spread shows Farmall is not a single series but a class with several size steps.
Buyers of used machines should check the trim level carefully – an A and a C with the same number differ clearly in transmission, hydraulic capacity and cab – and look at the service history of the exhaust aftertreatment on younger model years.

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.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
