ENGINE DETAIL
The CaseIH 3294 tractor is equipped with a turbocharged 6-cylinder diesel engine, delivering 197 hp at a rated RPM of 2100, which provides robust power for heavy-duty applications such as plowing and hauling. Its substantial engine displacement of 8.3L and compression design lend themselves to efficient torque delivery and fuel efficiency, crucial for extensive fieldwork. However, maintenance personnel should be aware of the relatively high oil (30 quarts) and coolant (44 quarts) capacities, necessitating appropriate service and monitoring to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

TRANSMISSION
The CaseIH 3294 tractor features a 12 forward and 3 reverse gear Power Shift transmission, allowing for seamless, clutchless shifting between its four ranges, which enhances operational efficiency during diverse field tasks. With an oil capacity of 112 quarts (106.0L), it supports extended usage without frequent maintenance, minimizing downtime. However, the complexity of the Power Shift system may require specialized training for optimal operation and troubleshooting.

MECHANICAL
The CaseIH 3294 features a robust 4x4 MFWD chassis, enhancing traction and stability on diverse terrain, ideal for heavy tillage and transport tasks. The power steering and wet disc brakes provide superior control and safety, particularly in challenging operational conditions, though maintenance may be more demanding due to the more complex braking system. Its 12-speed transmission enables efficient power management and versatility in speed adjustments, optimizing performance across various applications but potentially requiring operator acclimatization for maximum efficiency.

CASEIH 3294 TIRES
The CaseIH 3294 tractor features a robust tire configuration with front Ag tires rated at 14Lx16 for increased maneuverability and stability in various field conditions. The rear tire options (23.1x34, 16.9x38, or 20.8x38) provide essential traction and load-bearing capabilities, with wider tires improving flotation on soft or muddy terrain. However, tire selection impacts the tractor's overall height and transport width, necessitating consideration of logistical constraints during field operations and road transport.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The CaseIH 3294, with a wheelbase of 104 inches, offers stable maneuverability for field applications, but may present challenges in tight spaces due to its length. Weighing 17,000 lbs, it provides substantial traction and stability, beneficial for heavy tillage operations but potentially limiting mobility on soft ground. The combination of front tires (11.00x16) and rear tires (18.4x38) allows for effective weight distribution, yet may require careful attention to tire pressure for optimal performance across varied soil conditions.
