Farmall Utility Series
Farmall utility models in the 60–80 HP class are chore-focused tractors built for livestock, hay, loader, and mixed acreage work. This group includes A-series, C-series, and specialty CL/N/V model names used in tractoriron.com inventory.
Utility Class Horsepower Band
Case IH utility pages define this class with clear horsepower bands for daily farm work. Farmall Small Utility A is listed at 53–74 HP and Farmall Small Utility C at 64–74 HP, covering most feeding, mowing, and loader routines in one chassis size. These models are positioned for operators who need more sustained workload capacity than compact tractors while still keeping maneuverability around lots, pens, and hay yards. Specialty CL/N/V variants extend that utility concept to narrower row applications.
- •Farmall Small Utility A: 53–74 HP
- •Farmall Small Utility C: 64–74 HP
- •Farmall Utility 60A listed at 60 engine HP / 51 PTO HP
- •Farmall Utility 70A listed at 70 gross HP / 62 PTO HP
Loader-First Transmission Design
This utility tier is tuned for frequent shuttle cycles and repetitive loader workflows. Case IH lists an 8x8 mechanical transmission and available 12x12 power shuttle in Small Utility A models, while Small Utility C uses a standard 12x12 power shuttle with optional creeper for 20x20 coverage. That layout prioritizes fast directional changes and usable low-speed control in barnyards, feed areas, and bale handling, where stopping and reversing repeatedly can dominate the operator day.
- •Small Utility A: 8x8 mechanical transmission
- •Small Utility A: available 12x12 power shuttle
- •Small Utility C: standard 12x12 power shuttle
- •Small Utility C: optional creeper for 20x20 coverage
Hydraulics for Chore Implements
Hydraulic and PTO specifications in this class are sized for broad chore and hay implement use. Case IH publishes 12.5 gpm hydraulic flow for Farmall Small Utility C and lists multiple rear remote configurations, with two rear remotes standard and optional third remote. Rear PTO options include standard 540 and optional 540/540E on this C-series utility platform. Together, those numbers support regular loader work, feeding, bale movement, rotary mowing, and other PTO-dependent operations across mixed-use properties.
- •Small Utility C hydraulic flow: 12.5 gpm
- •Rear remotes: two standard on Small Utility C
- •Optional third rear remote available
- •PTO options include 540 standard and optional 540/540E
Lift Capacity and Uptime Focus
Utility models in this bracket combine practical loader lift with maintenance intervals designed for high annual hours. Case IH lists Small Utility C loader pairings up to 2,734 lb (L565 MSL) and up to 3,179 lb (L620 MSL), with non-self-leveling capacities up to 1,940 lb and 2,478 lb respectively. Maintenance intervals include 600-hour oil-change intervals on utility families, reducing service interruptions during long chore seasons. This balance helps operators maintain steady throughput without constant shop downtime.
- •L565 loader: up to 2,734 lb (MSL) / 1,940 lb (NSL)
