Case IH’s Trident 5550 is a 390 horsepower, 8.7 litre diesel mated to a hydrostatic IVT drive. And it all rides on a completely new suspension system designed to accommodate changing loads during field use.
The Trident can be ordered with factory duals to fit 20-, 22- or 30-inch row crop spacing. A 710-millimetre floater tire is also available as a factory option.
To aid in quick body changeover, all required connections are designed to fit together only one way and be simple to attach.
