CASEIH C48 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The CaseIH C48 tractor features a turbocharged Steyr WD308 3-cylinder diesel engine, providing 48 hp and a robust torque of 125 lb-ft at a low RPM of 1300, making it suitable for tasks requiring consistent low-end power, such as tillage and heavy transportation. Its displacement of 2.4L and square bore/stroke configuration (100mm) allow for efficient fuel consumption and balanced power delivery. However, the limited horsepower may pose challenges in heavy-duty applications compared to higher-powered alternatives.

TRANSMISSION
The CaseIH C48 features a synchro transmission that facilitates smoother shifting between its 16 forward and 8 reverse gears, enhancing operational efficiency in varied terrains. This gear configuration allows for precise speed adjustments, making it suitable for both fieldwork and transport applications. However, synchro transmissions may require more operator skill compared to fully automatic systems, possibly impacting productivity in inexperienced hands.
