Case IH 1455 XL: heavy field tractor with a water-cooled 6,586cc six-cylinder diesel, 107 kW of power and 529 Nm of torque
Case IH was formed in 1985 from the merger of J.I. Case and International Harvester's agricultural equipment division; the 1455 XL was introduced before the merger and continued in production into the 1990s. The D family with its XL line occupied the manufacturer's upper power segment with six-cylinder models.

The 1455 XL carries a water-cooled six-cylinder diesel engine with 6,586 cc of displacement, producing 107 kW (145 hp) and delivering 529 Nm of torque, at a rated 2,200 rpm. At 4,740 mm long, 2,412 mm wide and with a 2,798 mm wheelbase, the machine weighs 6,420 kg; overall height is 2,940 mm and top speed is 30 km/h.
With six cylinders, 6.6 litres of displacement and a weight of 6.42 tonnes, the 1455 XL belongs to the class of heavy field tractors for ploughing, cultivating and haulage on large farms. Torque of 529 Nm allows towing work at low engine speed and suits the machine to heavy towed tillage implements as well.
When buying a used 1455 XL, given the high weight and long production run, the condition of the clutch, rear axle and gearbox seals matters, since these parts wear especially under heavy load over the years. 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 age.
