Farmall 85C: compact Case IH farm tractor with a 3,400cc four-cylinder diesel, 63 kW and a twelve-speed gearbox in both directions
Farmall is a traditional name for farm tractors, originally from International Harvester, used today by Case IH, a brand of the CNH group, for a range of versatile yard and field tractors in the mid power bracket. Tractors of this size are built for mixed farms that need a nimble tractor for front-loader work, haulage and lighter field tasks alongside larger farm tractors.

The Farmall 85C carries a water-cooled four-cylinder diesel engine with 3,400 cm³ of displacement, producing 86 hp, or 63 kW, at 2,300 rpm. Power is sent through a gearbox with 12 forward and 12 reverse ratios; at 3,600 kg, 4,241 mm long and with a 2,235 mm wheelbase, the machine reaches a top speed of 40 km/h. The hydraulics lift up to 4,400 kg.
At 63 kW and with a compact 2,235 mm wheelbase, the 85C is a nimble all-purpose tractor that shows its advantage over larger farm tractors around the yard, in narrower lanes and during transport runs. Its twelve gears in each direction allow fine matching of travel speed, needed when manoeuvring with implements and working with a front loader, while the 40 km/h top speed is enough for road travel between yard and field.
When buying a tractor with a twelve-speed gearbox in both directions used, the condition of the clutch and shift mechanism matters, since it is mechanically more complex than a simple four- or eight-speed gearbox. Also worth checking are the tightness of the front-loader hydraulics, if fitted, the condition of the front axle bearings given frequent turning around the yard, and corrosion damage to the mudguards and frame.
