This engine is known for its fuel efficiency and durability. The transmission is a gear-type transmission, offering either 8 forward and 2 reverse speeds, or an optional creeper version.

This tractor was often used in row crop applications for cultivating and planting, hay production for mowing and baling, and livestock operations for feeding and material handling. The Case IH 240 distinguished itself with its combination of compact size, fuel-efficient engine, and capable hydraulics, making it a versatile and practical choice for smaller farms and specialized tasks.
