CHAMBERLAIN 4490 ENGINE

The Chamberlain 4490 is equipped with a robust John Deere 7.6L 6-cylinder diesel engine, offering high torque and fuel efficiency, ideal for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. While its powerful engine supports excellent performance in demanding conditions, the weight could pose a challenge in soft soil scenarios, potentially leading to soil compaction. Overall, this tractor is well-suited for large-scale farming operations, where durability and power are paramount.

TRANSMISSION

The Chamberlain 4490 tractor features a partial power shift transmission with 12 forward and 4 reverse gears, facilitating versatile speed control for various applications, but requires the tractor to be stopped for gear changes, which could limit operational efficiency in dynamic field conditions. The 15.5-inch dry disc clutch provides robust engagement but may necessitate maintenance under heavy use. With an oil capacity of 40.1 quarts (38.0L), proper lubrication is crucial for optimal transmission performance and longevity.

CHAMBERLAIN 4490 TRANSMISSION

The Chamberlain 4490 features a 12-speed partial power shift transmission, enabling efficient gear changes without clutching, which enhances productivity in varying field conditions. This system allows smooth transitions between gears under load, promoting better torque and speed management. However, operators may need to familiarize themselves with the shifting patterns to fully capitalize on the transmission's capabilities in high-demand scenarios.

CHAMBERLAIN 4490 TIRES

The Chamberlain 4490 tractor features robust tire options with different configurations for 2WD and 4WD, ensuring optimal traction and versatility in varied agricultural environments. The 11.00x16 front tires for 2WD offer stability, while the 14.9x26 front tires in 4WD enhance maneuverability and weight distribution, particularly in soft soil conditions. However, the size disparity may affect the tractor's overall handling; thus, selecting the appropriate drivetrain is crucial based on soil conditions and intended application.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The Chamberlain 4490 tractor offers a broad weight range of 13,779 to 14,319 pounds, enhancing stability during operation, especially when utilizing rear 24.5x32 tires in 2WD mode. The 2WD fixed wheelbase of 113.5 inches may provide better maneuverability in constrained spaces, while the longer 4WD wheelbase of 115 inches improves traction on uneven terrain, making it suitable for heavier agricultural tasks. However, the trade-off between 2WD's agility and 4WD's traction must be evaluated based on specific operational scenarios, as 4WD may introduce higher wear rates on tires and components in certain conditions.
