Features

Engine

More Power for Every Chore

A naturally aspirated, 3-cylinder, 1.9-L engine delivers increased power across the Compact Farmall C series tractor lineup. Models range from 35 to 55 hp (28-47 PTO hp) — a 5-hp increase over previous models. These engines also provide greater displacement and up to 20 percent greater torque output.

Common Rail Direct Injection
The latest fuel-injection technology offers several advantages, including improved power performance, increased efficiency and cleaner emissions.

Tier 4 B/Final Compliant
Engines use an internal Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system to meet Tier 4 B/Final requirements. A 50-hour Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) regeneration interval helps keep your workday humming.

Transmission

Transmission Options For Your Operation

Choose the standard mechanical shuttle transmission or the popular 3-range hydrostatic option:

Mechanical Shuttle Transmission
The standard shuttle transmission features 12x12 (three non synchronized ranges, four synchronized speeds) on Farmall compact models 35C and 40C, and 16x16 (four non synchronized ranges, four synchronized speeds) on Farmall compact models 45C, 50C and 55C. Operators can work with increased efficiency. The synchronized gears (mounted on the left of the steering column) allow gear changes to happen without coming to a complete stop.

Hydrostatic Transmission
A 3-range hydrostatic transmission is available on all models. An easy-to-operate, 2-pedal system, push button cruise control and infinite operating speeds makes this option a popular choice when considering operator convenience and fatigue. Simply press the forward pedal to move forward and press the reverse pedal to go in reverse. It’s an excellent choice for tasks, such as loader work and mowing, requiring frequent directional and speed changes.

Operator Environment

Work in Your Comfort Zone

Whether you prefer the great outdoors or a climate-controlled workspace, you can count on the deluxe features of the Farmall compact C series tractors. 

  • Comfort is provided through an operator platform with proper grip that provides easy access and exit, hand and foot throttles, and an adjustable suspension seat.
  • Convenience won’t be sacrificed as operators have easy access to all controls and levers, constant engine speed button for tasks that require a steady engine rpm, as well as a factory-installed loader joystick.
  • Visibility is crucial so operators have unobstructed views from the tractor seat as well as well-placed controls and a two-post ROPS structure that don’t inhibit visibility.
  • Additional Cab amenities include a spacious cab with room to move, climate controls including heat and air conditioning, and 360-degree sight lines.

PTO

Independent and Easy-to-engage

Mid-mount PTO
The mid-mount PTO to power mid- and front-mount equipment, such as mowers and snow blowers, is available on all Farmall compacts.

Speed Options
A rear, independent 540-rpm PTO with electro-hydraulic engagement comes standard and drives all your 3-point-mount and pull-behind implements. The mid-mount PTO is manually engaged, but controlled with electro-hydraulic PTO switch and operates at 2,000 rpm.
 

Hydraulics

Hydraulics Made For Maximized Productivity

Flow Rate
An 8.2 gallons-per-minute hydraulic flow gives you the power you need for all kinds of heavy lifting, from loaders and backhoes to rear blades and rotary tillers.

Remotes
All Farmall compact C series tractors come with a standard rear remote. For even greater flexibility, add an optional second rear remote. Plus, optional color-coded rear remote levers and couplers simplify hookup.

Hitches

Where the Work Gets Done

3-Point 
Telescoping stabilizers and flex-end lower links make attaching and hooking up implements fast and easy. A single turnbuckle levels attachments. Mechanical positioning and an adjustable drop rate give you even greater control.

Hitch Lift Capacity

  • Farmall compact 35C and 40C: 1,808 lb. 24 inches behind pin
  • Farmall compact 45C, 50C and 55C: 2,756 lb. 24 inches behind pin

Extendable Drawbar 
A two-position drawbar lets you customize hitched implements to your desired position or move the drawbar to keep it out of the way when not in use.
 

Axles & Tires

Traction and Power For an Ideal Operation

All models feature standard MFD for improved traction and increased power to the ground. Non-cab configurations include fenders and handles for easy entry and exit.
