Common questions
Case IH 685 weight FAQ
How much does a Case IH 685 weigh?
The Case IH 685 weighs 5,660 lb (2,567 kg) using the published 2WD Operating figure. Across the published configurations on this page, weight ranges from 5,660 to 10,150 lb (2,567 to 4,604 kg).
What is the operating weight of the Case IH 685?
The published operating weight is 5,660 lb (2,567 kg). This is usually a more useful real-world figure than a bare shipping specification, although ballast, loader, fuel, implements and tire setup can still increase actual working weight.
How much does the Case IH 685 weigh with ballast?
The published ballasted weight is 8,845 lb (4,012 kg). That is up to 3,185 lb (56.3%) above the lightest published configuration. Ballast can therefore change the practical hauling and ground-pressure picture substantially on this model.
Is the Case IH 685 heavy or light for a utility tractor?
It is close to average for its peer group. The representative figure sits at about the 61st percentile, near the middle of the utility tractor peers. That puts it in the average range for this comparison. It is 397 lb heavier than the peer-group average of 5,263 lb.
How wide is the Case IH 685 for transport?
The maximum published tractor width is 64 in (5.3 ft). That is 38 in under 8.5 ft before allowing for a loader, duals, implements or other equipment that may increase transport width.
Does the Case IH 685 weigh more than 10,000 lb?
Some configurations do. The representative published weight is 5,660 lb, and the heaviest published configuration on this page is 10,150 lb (5.08 US tons). Any trailer calculation also needs the trailer itself plus fuel, ballast, attachments and other equipment.
