CaseIH 4494 vs CaseIH 7130

Verdict: CaseIH 4494 vs CaseIH 7130

The CaseIH 4494 and the CaseIH 7130 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. CaseIH 4494 leads on rated power with 175 hp against 173 hp. CaseIH 4494 is the lighter machine (9,453 kg vs 16,280 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
