CASEIH 844 XL TIRES
The CaseIH 844 XL tractor offers versatility with standard agricultural tires, making it suitable for a range of soil conditions. The 2WD configuration (7.50-18 front and 16.9R34 rear) provides ease of maintenance and lower operational costs, while the 4WD setup (12.4R24 front and 16.9R34 rear) enhances traction and stability on uneven terrain. When considering applications such as tillage or hauling, the 4WD option may mitigate slippage and improve performance in challenging environments.
