1999-2008 CASE 221E WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Case 221E Wheel Loader is a compact, versatile machine optimized for earthmoving and material handling tasks. It features a Tier 2 certified F4M2011 four-cylinder diesel engine delivering 60 hp (45 kW) gross power at 2500 rpm and 131 lb-ft torque at 1700 rpm, ensuring robust performance. The loader is equipped with a hydrostatic transmission offering two forward and two reverse gears, with maximum speeds of 12.4 mph (19 kph) in both directions, allowing precise speed control for varied jobsite conditions. Its operating weight is approximately 11,947 lbs (5,419 kg), providing sufficient stability and balance. The standard bucket has a heaped capacity of 1.4 cu yds (1 m³) and a struck capacity of 1.1 cu yds (1 m³), with a bucket width of 6.9 ft (2 m) and a breakout force of 9,723 lbs (4,410 kg), enabling efficient loading and material penetration. At maximum lift, the bucket hinge pin reaches 11.2 ft (3 m), and dump clearance is 8.6 ft (2 m), facilitating easy dumping into trucks or hoppers. The loader’s ground clearance is 1.1 ft (0 m), height to the top of the cab is 9.2 ft (3 m), and wheelbase is 7.8 ft (2 m). Hydraulics include an open-centered, pressure/flow compensated pump with an 18.5 gal/min (68 l/min) flow capacity, relief valve set at 3,626 psi, and quick dump (1 sec) and lower (3 sec) times. The 12V electrical system supports a 55-amp alternator. Tires measure 365/80 R20 EM SPT9, and the machine offers a 13.5 ft (4 m) turning radius. Fluid capacities include 26 gal fuel, 17.7 gal hydraulic, and 2.1 gal front and rear axle/diff fluids. Rear axle oscillation of 24° enhances terrain adaptability and stability.
