Introduction

Case IH 4694: High-Performance 4WD Tractor

The Case IH 4694 is a heavy-duty four-wheel-drive tractor produced between 1984 and 1987 in Racine, Wisconsin. Designed for large-scale agricultural operations, this model emphasizes high pulling power and structural durability.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by a 6-cylinder, 8.3-liter turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine. It delivers 261 hp (194.6 kW) with a peak torque of 922.1 Nm at 1650 RPM, providing the necessary low-end grunt for demanding tillage and heavy traction tasks.

Transmission and Drivetrain

Equipped with a partial power shift transmission, the 4694 offers 12 forward and 4 reverse gears. The system features four ranges with three power shift gears per range, managed by dashboard-mounted levers. Power is delivered through a 4WD system, supported by hydraulic wet disc clutches and hydraulic dry disc brakes.

Hydraulics and Hitch

The hydraulic system utilizes a closed-center design with a total flow capacity of 31 gpm (117.3 lpm) at 2350 psi. This system supports two to four valves, allowing for versatile implement control. The rear hitch, available in Category III, provides a lift capacity of 12,750 lbs (5783 kg) at 24 inches behind the lift point.

Operational Dimensions and Steering

The 4694 features a 102-inch wheelbase and an operating weight exceeding 22,000 lbs, which can be increased to over 25,000 lbs when ballasted. Steering is highly adaptable, offering hydraulic control for front-only, rear-only, or four-wheel crab steering, significantly improving maneuverability for a machine of this size.

Conclusion

The Case IH 4694 is engineered for heavy field work requiring substantial drawbar pull and high-capacity hydraulic output. Its combination of four-wheel steering and robust drivetrain makes it suitable for large-acreage farming and intensive tillage applications.
