Equipment Overview
The CASE 521 is a wheel loader built for construction, utility, municipal, and snow work, part of CASE’s G Series wheel loader range alongside the larger 621 and 721. It delivers 142 hp (106 kW) of gross power and up to 11,431 kg of operating weight, suited to all-around jobsite work with three linkage options and multiple axle configurations.
Power comes from an FPT four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine paired with CASE’s SCR emissions solution, which runs without a diesel particulate filter, regeneration cycles, or extreme exhaust temperatures. A four-speed autoshift transmission and standard limited-slip differential axles transfer torque to the gripping tyres in slippery conditions, and CASE’s mid-mount cooling module keeps mechanical and hydraulic systems at optimum temperature.
