Introduction

Case IH MX220 Row-Crop Tractor

The Case IH MX220 is a high-horsepower row-crop tractor manufactured in Racine, Wisconsin, between 1999 and 2002. Positioned as a versatile workhorse, it was designed for demanding field operations requiring significant traction and hydraulic capacity.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by an 8.3-liter (504.5 ci) liquid-cooled inline engine, delivering 205 horsepower. It features a mechanical direct injection fuel system and operates at a rated engine speed of 2000 RPM. The engine is designed for consistent power delivery across a variety of agricultural cycles.

Transmission and Drivetrain

The MX220 offers two transmission configurations: a standard 18-speed full power shift with 4 reverse gears, and an optional creeper range providing 24 forward and 6 reverse gears. Both systems utilize electro-hydraulic wet disc clutches and include a left-hand power shuttle for directional changes. Final drives are of the planetary type, supported by two- or four-wheel drive capabilities.

Hydraulics and Hitch

Equipped with a closed-center pressure flow compensated (PFC) hydraulic system, the tractor provides a standard pump flow of 30 gpm (113.6 lpm), with optional upgrades available. It supports 3 to 5 remote valves. The rear hitch is a Category III/IIIN type with position and draft control, offering a lift capacity of 11,200 lbs (5,080 kg). An optional front hitch with 5,500 lbs (2,494 kg) lift capacity is also available.

Operator Environment and Dimensions

The tractor is fitted with the Surveyor Cab as standard, which includes air conditioning to support long hours of operation. The 4WD model features a wheelbase of 118.3 inches (300 cm), while the 2WD version has a wheelbase of 119.2 inches (302 cm). Ground clearance is maintained at 18.7 inches (47 cm).

Conclusion

The Case IH MX220 is a robust, high-performance tractor suited for heavy-duty row-crop applications. Its combination of a powerful 8.3L engine, flexible transmission options, and substantial hydraulic capacity makes it a reliable choice for large-scale farming operations.
