Where the line-up sits
The 31 Case IH configurations profiled here run from 17.1 to 62 PTO hp across 20 model families. 14 of them sit within 1 PTO hp of a 30, 35, 45, 50 or 65-hp attachment limit, where the transmission or the document version can change the answer.
Gear and HST
11 Case IH models here are profiled in both gear and HST versions. The widest gap is the Farmall 55A’s 2.9 PTO hp (49.3 gear, 46.4 HST). In 5 of them the gap crosses a published attachment limit; the Farmall 55C’s gap spans the 45-hp line.
Lift
Published lift 24 inches behind the hitch runs from 728 to 4,300 lb. 11 configurations list less than the 1,950 lb of Wallenstein BX102RI, the heaviest attachment on this site.
Hitch category
8 list Category 1 and 2 or a hitch convertible between them.
What fits most often
Across these configurations, WoodMaxx WM-8H (29 of 31) and WoodMaxx WM-8M (29) are the chippers that most often clear the published limits; Farmer-Helper FH-EFGC125 (28) and Farmer-Helper FH-EFGC155 (28) lead the flail mowers. ‘Clears’ means not excluded; nearly every pairing still needs dealer confirmation.
Case IH notes
Case IH’s August 2026 A-series sheet re-rated the Farmall 35A and 40A; the 40A page still shows the older figures, and the Utility 75C’s brochure (61) and page (65) disagree. The Farmall C series matches the New Holland Boomers in power, and Case IH sells different compact and utility tractors under the 50A and 55A names. 3 configurations marked † carry a recorded source conflict.
Take these questions with you.
- Which exact configuration and transmission is the tractor?
- Which document date do the PTO and lift figures come from?
- Is the attachment rated on engine or PTO horsepower?
- What does the dealer list for lift 24 inches behind the hitch?
Keep these questions with your exact tractor and attachment details.
