MECHANICAL
The J.I. Case 411-B features a 4x2 2WD chassis, providing simplicity and lower maintenance costs, but may limit traction in challenging conditions compared to 4WD. Its manual steering offers direct feedback, but can lead to more physical effort, especially during longer operations. The transmission system, with options for an 8-speed or 4-speed torque converter, allows for flexibility in speed selection, enhancing adaptability for various field tasks, but the torque converter may introduce slight power loss compared to direct drive systems.
