Case IHFarmall 55C
Compact
55 hp engine · 46.7 PTO−15% to the shaft

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.

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

  • 46.7 PTO hp is the highest figure in the Case IH compact range, enough for a 7-foot cutter or a small round baler
  • 16 x 16 mechanical shuttle with synchro shift, four more ratios each way than the 12 x 12 on the smaller compacts
  • 2,756 lb of hitch lift at 24 in. behind the pin, with flex lower-link ends and telescopic stabilizers included
  • A factory cab is genuinely offered at 4,453 lb against the 3,770 lb ROPS build - the compact A series has no cab at all
  • Two rear remotes are standard on the cab build, where the A series starts at zero
  • 73.2 in. of wheelbase makes a loaded L360A bucket far steadier than the 66 in. small-frame compacts
  • 6-year extended warranty at no additional cost, and no DEF tank to fill

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 is the same pump fitted to the 35 hp 35C - at 55 hp that is the weakest part of the specification and it shows on a grapple
  • The hydrostatic option costs 2.7 PTO hp, dropping 46.7 to 44
  • Case IH rates the L360A's 1,830 lb 31.5 in. forward of the pivot pin, which reads lower than a pin figure and higher than a bucket-edge one - not comparable either way
  • Still a Category I hitch despite 55 hp and a 2,756 lb lift
  • Diesel particulate filter standard across the compact C series, so regeneration is part of the deal

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.

Smallest of the compact A tractors and a thousand pounds heavier than the 25SC subcompact beneath it, on a 1.3-litre turbocharged and aftercooled three. The 12 x 12 synchro shuttle is standard where most 25 hp machines give you a hydrostat and nothing else.
