Farmall Compact Series
Case IH Farmall Compact models combine sub-compact maneuverability with true tractor capability for acreage owners, horse properties, and daily chore work. This group spans entry sub-compact machines and deluxe compact models with hydrostatic or shuttle transmissions, rear and optional mid PTO support, and loader-ready hydraulics.
Compact Power for Daily Work
Farmall Compact A and C platforms cover the core compact horsepower bands listed by Case IH, giving owners enough engine and PTO output for mowing, loader cycles, and light ground engagement. Official Compact A specs show 24.4–40 engine HP with 17.1–34 PTO HP, while Compact C specs show 35–55 engine HP with 28–47 PTO HP. This spread gives practical overlap so you can size to property demands without jumping to a larger chassis class.
- •Compact A series: 24.4–40 engine HP
- •Compact A series: 17.1–34 PTO HP
- •Compact C series: 35–55 engine HP
- •Compact C series: 28–47 PTO HP
- •Compact C engine family includes 1.9 L, 3-cylinder diesel
Hydrostatic or Shuttle Drivability
Case IH lists both mechanical shuttle and hydrostatic options across these compact families, making the lineup practical for both novice and experienced operators. Compact A includes a 12x12 shuttle option and a 3-range HST, while Compact C adds model-dependent 12x12 or 16x16 shuttle configurations plus 3-range HST. That gives predictable low-speed control for loader and obstacle work, while preserving straightforward mechanical gearing for repetitive field and transport chores.
- •Compact A: 12x12 mechanical shuttle available
- •Compact A: 3-range hydrostatic available
- •Compact C: 12x12 shuttle on 35C/40C
- •Compact C: 16x16 shuttle on 45C/50C/55C
- •Compact C: 3-range hydrostatic available across models
PTO and Hydraulic Capability
These Farmall compacts support common implement work with standard rear PTO output and optional mid PTO support where configured. Case IH specifies independent 540 rear PTO and 2,000 rpm mid PTO operation on compact families, plus hydraulic flow sized for loader and implement tasks. Compact A lists 8.2 gpm hydraulic flow (7.9 gpm on 25A), and Compact C lists 8.2 gpm. This gives a strong baseline for mowing, snow tools, tillers, and material handling.
- •Rear PTO: 540 rpm (independent, electro-hydraulic engagement)
- •Mid PTO operation: 2,000 rpm (when equipped)
- •Compact A hydraulic flow: 8.2 gpm (7.9 gpm on 25A)
- •Compact C hydraulic flow: 8.2 gpm
Loader and Hitch Utility
Farmall Compact models are built around frequent front-loader and 3-point work. Case IH publishes compact hitch and loader capacities that match property-maintenance tasks without moving to a heavier utility class. Compact A lists 1,433 lb 3-point lift at 24 inches behind ball ends and 1,250 lb loader lift at the bucket pivot with matched loader setup. Compact C lists 1,808 lb or 2,756 lb 3-point lift depending on model tier, giving clear step-up capability in the same compact footprint.
- •Compact A 3-point lift: 1,433 lb at 24 in behind ball ends
- •Compact C 3-point lift: 1,808 lb (35C/40C) at 24 in
- •Compact C 3-point lift: 2,756 lb (45C/50C/55C) at 24 in
- •Compact A matched loader lift: 1,250 lb at bucket pivot point
- •L350A (35C/40C) max lift capacity: up to 1,540 lb
