Introduction
Case IH MX240 Row-Crop Tractor
The Case IH MX240 is a high-horsepower row-crop tractor produced between 1999 and 2002 at the Racine, Wisconsin facility in the United States. Rated at 227 horsepower, this machine was engineered for large-scale agricultural operations requiring significant traction and implement management.
Engine and Powertrain
The tractor is powered by an 8.3-liter (504.5 ci) liquid-cooled inline engine featuring electric direct injection. It operates at a rated speed of 2000 RPM. The engine cooling system has a capacity of 24.6 liters, and the lubrication system requires 20.8 liters of oil. The electrical system utilizes a 12-volt starter and a dual-battery configuration to ensure reliable starting performance.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The MX240 is equipped with a full power shift transmission providing 18 forward and 4 reverse gears. It utilizes electro-hydraulic wet disc clutches for smooth operation. An optional creeper range is available, expanding the configuration to 24 forward and 6 reverse gears. The tractor features four-wheel drive as standard, with planetary final drives and an electro-hydraulic rear differential lock.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system is a closed-center Pressure Flow Compensating (PFC) type with a standard pump flow of 113.6 lpm (30 gpm) and a system pressure of 172.4 bar (2500 psi). It supports between 3 and 5 remote valves. The rear three-point hitch is a category III/IIIN type with position and draft control, capable of lifting up to 5,896 kg (13,000 lbs).
Dimensions and Operator Environment
The unit features a wheelbase of 300 cm (118.3 inches) and an overall length of 574 cm (226 inches). The operator environment consists of the standard Surveyor Cab, which includes air conditioning as a factory-fitted feature. The machine utilizes differential hydraulic wet disc brakes for stopping power.
