The Case IH 1270 was introduced in 1976 as part of the International Harvester (later Case IH) lineup, filling a critical horsepower range in their tractor offerings. Production continued until 1979. This model features an International Harvester 401 cubic inch (6.6L) diesel engine, rated at approximately 110 engine horsepower. The transmission is a gear-type, offering 8 forward and 4 reverse speeds, providing a good range for different field conditions. The 1270 delivers approximately 95 PTO horsepower, available at 540 RPM, making it suitable for operating implements like rotary cutters, balers, and grain drills. Its hydraulic system provides a capacity of around 14.5 GPM, and typically features two remote valves for operating hydraulic cylinders on implements.
