Case 85 er-Baureihe
5 models in this series
Case International 85 series (1985–1990) – the Doncaster tractors with David Brown heritage: 485 to 885, the final digits 85 as series, the first digit as size class, DT for four-wheel drive
The 85 series was the first range to come to market in red as Case International after the merger of Case and International Harvester in 1985 – the successors to the David Brown 94 range from Meltham and the IH 84 range from Doncaster, merged into one range Case IH built in Doncaster, England. The type logic: the final digits 85 mark the series, the first digit orders the size in ascending order – 485 about 50 hp, 585 about 60, 685 about 70, 785 about 75, 885 about 85 hp – DT four-wheel drive. The engines are the David Brown three- and four-cylinders of 2.9 to 4.4 litres at 2,180 to 2,400 rpm that the 85s took over from the 94s, with the gearboxes with Hydra-Shift powershift step and the Synchro shuttle; the cab was David Brown's Q-Cab, regarded as quiet.
