Case IHFarmall 45C
Compact
45 hp engine · 38.2 PTO−15% to the shaft

Where the compact Farmall moves onto the 4,000 lb frame: a 73.2 in. wheelbase, a 16 x 16 shuttle and a 2,756 lb hitch, up from 1,808 lb on the smaller C models. The pump does not grow with it, and that is the whole argument about this tractor.

On the price: Neither this maker nor any dealer reachable from here publishes a bare-tractor price for this model — every listing found either says “call for price” or bundles a loader. That is how this brand sells, so expect to get a number by asking a dealer rather than by looking it up.

Lift figures are the maker's and are quoted at whichever point the maker chose; the about page explains why two loaders with the same number do not lift the same pallet.

From owner discussion and long-term write-ups

What owners say

What they like

  • 2,756 lb of hitch lift at 24 in. behind the pin, a 52 percent jump over the 1,808 lb the 35C and 40C carry
  • 16 x 16 mechanical shuttle with synchro shift, four more ratios each way than the 12 x 12 on the smaller frame
  • Flex lower-link ends and telescopic stabilizers come with the hitch rather than as options
  • A factory cab is offered here at 4,453 lb against the 3,770 lb ROPS build, so the same chassis covers both budgets
  • The L360A lifts 1,830 lb to 112 in., the tallest reach in the Case IH compact loader range
  • 73.2 in. of wheelbase makes a loaded bucket far steadier than the 66 in. small-frame compacts manage

What they complain about

  • Case IH publishes no list price and its Build & Price tool hands you to a dealer rather than a figure, so this page cannot tell you what it costs - every public number found either bundles the loader or is a financing offer
  • 8.2 gpm of implement flow, identical to the 35 hp 35A - the hydraulics did not scale with the frame and it shows on a grapple or a snowblower chute
  • Still a Category I hitch despite 2,756 lb of lift, which limits which mounted implements will pin up
  • Case IH's compact loader table rates max lift capacity 31.5 in. (800 mm) forward of the pivot pin, a convention that cannot be set beside the at-the-pin figures Kubota and John Deere publish
  • The hydrostatic option costs 2.2 PTO hp, taking 38.2 down to 36
  • A diesel particulate filter is standard across the compact C series

The only one of the five redesigned MY2026 compact A tractors without a turbo. A 31 PTO hp figure out of 35 gross is an 89 percent driveline result, which is what a naturally aspirated 1.9-litre three buys when it is not being asked to make headline power.

Turbocharged version of the 35A on the same 66.2 in. wheelbase, and the point in the compact A range where the frame stops growing and only the engine does. 35.9 PTO hp is enough for a 6-foot cutter; the 45A above it moves to a longer chassis and a bigger pump.

Top of the compact Farmall range and the last stop before the utility line. 46.7 PTO hp and a 2,756 lb hitch put it against a Kubota L60 or a Deere 4066R, but it carries the same 8.2 gpm pump as the 35 hp 35C, which is where the comparison stops.
