How much heavier is the 4WD Case IH 7120 than the 2WD model?
Published 2WD weight is 15,920 lb (7,221 kg), while published 4WD weight is 16,605–17,220 lb (7,532–7,811 kg). On a midpoint basis, the published 4WD configurations are about 992 lb heavier. Tires, transmission and other configuration differences can also affect the number.
What is the operating weight of the Case IH 7120 compared with shipping weight?
Published operating weight is 16,605 lb (7,532 kg), versus 15,920–17,220 lb (7,221–7,811 kg) for shipping weight. That is roughly 685 lb (4.3%) more than shipping weight. Operating weight is generally the more useful starting point when estimating a ready-to-use tractor.
How much does the Case IH 7120 weigh with ballast?
The published ballasted weight is 19,565 lb (8,875 kg). That is up to 3,645 lb (22.9%) above the lightest published configuration. Ballast can therefore change the practical hauling and ground-pressure picture substantially on this model.
Is the Case IH 7120 a heavy row-crop tractor?
Yes. The representative figure sits at about the 72nd percentile, heavier than roughly 72% of the row-crop tractor peers. That puts it in the heavy range for this comparison. It is 2,599 lb heavier than the peer-group average of 14,006 lb.
