CASE IH has introduced three new tractors to its MXU MAXXUM model line-up to widen its appeal to even more customers.

The Case IH MAXXUM X Line models deliver a fuel-efficient, cost-effective solution for livestock and mixed farming systems.

Other benefits include better access to traditional farm buildings, by virtue of the new tractor's low profile cab, and the fact that only the minimum of operator training is required to get the most from these new models.
Robust, easy-to-maintain tractors that will become durable assets to any business, the Case IH MAXXUM X Line will appeal to any farming operation that was put off by the high levels of basic equipment on the existing MXU MAXXUM tractors.

The three new models in the Case IH MAXXUM X Line are designated the MXU100X, MXU110X and MXU115X. They are rated at 74kW (101hp), 83kW (112hp) and 85kW (116hp) respectively.

All three tractors feature engines that have been introduced especially for the MAXXUM X Line. The 74kW and 83kW models are fitted with four-cylinder engines, while the 85kW tractor has six cylinders. All have two valves per cylinder and a mechanical fuel injection system.

The new tractors can be ordered with a choice of two proven transmissions - a two-speed Powershift with 24 forward and reverse ratios featuring a left-hand powershuttle and two-speed shift under load; or a four-speed Semi Powershift gearbox with 16 ratios in either direction, a left-hand powershuttle and a four-speed shift under load.

The Case IH MAXXUM X Line is fitted with a fully mechanical hydraulic linkage, which is simple to operate and easy to maintain. Fed by a 63 litres/minute hydraulic pump, the hydraulic system comes as standard with a 40 litres/minute steering pump ensuring the tractor offers high work rates when coupled to a Case IH LRX loader. The X line can also be specified with a new hydraulic push back pick up hitch.

A two-speed PTO is supplied as standard offering a choice of 540 or 1000rpm with an optional economy 540 speed.

There has been no compromise on cab comfort on the new tractors, which feature a low-profile version of the class-leading Case IH Surround Vision cab,. This retains the low noise levels, adjustable steering wheel and the option of a deluxe air suspended seat . The new roof in conjunction with a shorter exhaust pipe reduces the overall height by 150mm.

The revised cab also features a loader view window as many of the new tractors are expected to be used with  Case IH's LRX loader.

Case IH has a proven tradition of delivering solid business solutions to an industry that demands reliability and value for money. The MAXXUM X Line is proof that the brand is ready to react to its customers requirements by delivering a flexible, general-purpose tractor that combines power with low cost of ownership.
