Case Traction King

Introduced in 1964, the 1200 Traction King was the first 4wd from Case.  It was the first large 4wd in the Ag industry to offer coordinated  steering.  The 1200 filled Case's need to bring a high horse power tractor to market  to compete against John Deere's 121 hp 5010, International Harvesters  214 hp 4300,  and Minneapolis-Moline's 101 hp G 706.  The turbocharged Lanova 451-cubic inch engine that powered the 1200 was rated at 1200 hp. Rather than beefing up the Comfort-King line with more weights and components a coordinated steer model was developed to bring high horse power to the ground efficiently.  The 1200's open station platform allowed to operator to enter or leave the operator's station with ease. Some 1200 Traction kings were fitted with after market cabs. A 1/16 Case 1200 was produced by Precision Engineering .
