Common questions
J.I. Case 2290 weight FAQ
How much does a J.I. Case 2290 weigh?
The J.I. Case 2290 weighs 13,700 lb (6,214 kg) using the published Operating — 2WD cab and 18.4-38 duals figure. Across the published configurations on this page, weight ranges from 10,080 to 15,840 lb (4,572 to 7,185 kg).
What is the operating weight of the J.I. Case 2290?
The published operating weight is 13,700 lb (6,214 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 J.I. Case 2290 weigh with ballast?
The published ballasted weight is 15,840 lb (7,185 kg). That is up to 5,760 lb (57.1%) above the lightest published configuration. Ballast can therefore change the practical hauling and ground-pressure picture substantially on this model.
Is the J.I. Case 2290 heavy or light for a row-crop tractor?
It is close to average for its peer group. The representative figure sits at about the 54th percentile, near the middle of the row-crop tractor peers. That puts it in the average range for this comparison. It is 306 lb lighter than the peer-group average of 14,006 lb.
Does the J.I. Case 2290 weigh more than 10,000 lb?
Yes. The representative published weight is 13,700 lb, and the heaviest published configuration on this page is 15,840 lb (7.92 US tons). Any trailer calculation also needs the trailer itself plus fuel, ballast, attachments and other equipment.
What is the J.I. Case 2290 weight-to-horsepower ratio?
Using the page’s representative 13,700 lb weight and 129 hp power figure, the tractor carries about 106.2 lb per horsepower. A lower lb/hp number means less tractor mass for each horsepower; this is a comparison metric, not a traction or performance rating.
