1740 Case 1740 Specifications & Technical Data (1971—2006)

Engine Power and Durability

High-torque Case engine power boosts output in normal operating conditions, with plenty in reserve to keep moving under loads and part throttle operations. Rugged, reinforced lift arms, massive loader towers, and pivot points with hardened pins and replaceable hardened bushings resist the stress of continuous duty under maximum rated loads.

Ease of Operation

Easy to operate and easy to learn. The operator does it all with two hand levers; steer, drive, stop, attachment lift and tilt. New clutch and control design for reduced efforts, more positive performance. Operations are comfortable in the adjustable cushion seat with backrest. There's a full view ahead, and optional bucket position indicator shows the attitude of the bucket any time. Twin blower fans direct engine heat away from the operator.

Attachment Switching

Hitching and switching any of the wide range of Case-matched Uni-Loader attachments is fast and easy, done in minutes. Just pull two quick-hitch pins from the attachment bar, back away, and then drive up to the next attachment to reinsert the pins. On attachments requiring auxiliary hydraulics, connect two quick couplers.
