The 421G is the first Case wheeled loader in the 100hp segment. With an operating weight of 8,970kg, it is designed to work with a 1.5 m3 standard bucket, or a 1.7 m3 light material bucket.
Powered by a 3.6-litre FPT turbocharged diesel engine, the 421G has a rated power of 72kW (97hp) and a peak power of 84kW (112hp) at 2,000rpm. This is backed by 453 Nm of torque. The engine uses FPT’s SCR-T after-treatment system to minimise emissions and the machine is equipped as standard with an ECO operating mode and cruise control to reduce fuel consumption.
The engine drives through a two-speed ‘shift-on-fly’ hydrostatic transmission, that provides a seamless transition between the two drive ranges, delivering a 40 km/h maximum speed with a 20 km/h speed limiter as an option. The transmission also has a creep setting as standard. The axles are heavy-duty, with standard limited slip differential front and rear and an optional 100% differential lock.
Though working within compact overall dimensions, the 421G has a straight tipping load with a standard bucket of 6,500 kg, with a full turn tipping load of 5,500 kg. When equipped with pallet forks, that full turn tipping load is 4,200 kg.
Payload with forks is 3,360 kg and the lift arms have a hinge pin height on 17.5 R25 tyres of 3,707 mm. With a bucket, the breakout force is 7,161 kg; the machine comes with boom and bucket setting modes and with boom float as standard.
The closed centre hydraulic system uses a variable displacement pump with load sensing and flow sharing capabilities for easy combined movement of the lift arms and bucket tilt cylinder. High flow hydraulics deliver a maximum flow of 125 litres/min with a maximum pressure of 220 bar, making this compact machine “an ideal tool carrier for a range of powered attachments”, Case says. The operator can also adjust hydraulic flow to suit the application.
