MECHANICAL
The Case 1194 tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, offering lower initial costs and reduced weight, ideal for light tillage applications. Its mechanical rear differential lock enhances traction in challenging conditions, although it limits mobility compared to full 4WD systems. The 12-speed synchromesh transmission provides smooth shifting, essential for varying field conditions but could present a learning curve for operators unfamiliar with advanced gear systems.
