Middle of the three 4,000 lb compact C tractors, identical to the 45C and 55C everywhere except the injection map. 42.5 PTO hp is the point where a 6-foot cutter and a mid-size tiller both stop being a compromise.
As published by the maker
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.

Case IH
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.

Case IH
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.
