## Ideal for:
A candidate for a large-acreage operation or a farm needing a high-horsepower tractor for heavy tillage, large bale moving, or a dedicated field workhorse where a newer engine and recent radiator bring value. Given the brake issue, a buyer with in-house mechanical capability will be best positioned to get this unit into daily rotation quickly.
## The Case 4490 Advantage:
The Case 4490 sits in a respected class of high-horsepower 4WD tractors from Case’s late-production era. The 504 cubic inch turbocharged diesel is well known for its torque and durability, and parts support remains relatively accessible through the CNH dealer network and the active vintage Case community. Tractors of this era were built with serviceability in mind — heavy frames, simple hydraulics, and accessible engine bays are hallmarks of the line.
