ENGINE DETAIL
The Case 4496 tractor is powered by a robust Scania D11 diesel engine, boasting a substantial displacement of 11.0L and generating 213 hp at a rated RPM of 2200. This engine features a high compression ratio of 16:1, improving fuel efficiency and torque delivery, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications. However, the 5.00x5.71-inch bore/stroke configuration suggests potential challenges in achieving high RPMs due to a longer stroke, which may limit its top-end performance compared to other engines with shorter strokes.

J.I. CASE 4496 ENGINE
The Case 4496 tractor is powered by a robust Scania 11.0L 6-cylinder diesel engine, offering excellent torque and fuel efficiency for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. With a substantial fuel tank capacity of 132.1 gallons, it is capable of extended operation between refueling, making it suitable for large-scale farming or long-duration projects. However, the larger engine size and fuel tank may add to overall weight, potentially affecting maneuverability in tighter spaces.

TRANSMISSION
The Case 4496 tractor features a partial power shift transmission, providing flexibility and efficiency across 12 forward and 4 reverse gears, structured in four distinct ranges. This design allows for seamless gear changes under load, which enhances productivity, particularly in varied field conditions. However, operators may need to adapt to the learning curve associated with managing the shifting protocol, making it essential for users to familiarize themselves with the system for optimal performance.

MECHANICAL
The Case 4496 tractor features a 4x4 drivetrain that enhances traction and stability on varied terrains, ideal for agricultural operations. Its hydrostatic power steering combined with four-wheel steering allows for precise maneuverability, making it advantageous in tight spaces. The 12-speed partial power shift transmission enables smooth gear transitions, but operators must be attentive to maximize power delivery without stalling, especially in demanding tasks.

J.I. CASE 4496 TIRES
The Case 4496 tractor offers standard agricultural tire sizes of 23.1x30, which provide better flotation and traction for heavy-duty tasks but may limit maneuverability in tighter spaces. Optional tires of 18.4x34 can enhance fuel efficiency and reduce soil compaction due to a wider contact patch but may sacrifice some load capacity. Choosing the right tire size depends on the specific application, such as whether the focus is on maximizing productivity in open fields or optimizing performance on varied terrain.
| Standard tires (ag) |
Front: 23.1x30. Rear: 23.1x30 |
| Optional tires (ag) |
Front: 18.4x34. Rear: 18.4x34 |
DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Case 4496 tractor utilizes 23.1x30 tires on both the front and rear, providing a stable footprint and improved traction across various terrains. This uniform tire size allows for better weight distribution and reduces the risk of tire wear discrepancies. However, the large tire dimensions may limit maneuverability in tight spaces, making it less suitable for small-scale operations or uneven landscapes.
