Introduction
Case IH MX90C Utility Tractor
The Case IH MX90C is a utility tractor produced between 1998 and 2002 at the Doncaster facility in England. Designed for versatile agricultural operations, this model integrates a turbocharged diesel powertrain within a robust four-wheel-drive chassis.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 4-cylinder, 4.0-liter turbocharged diesel engine generating 90 hp (67.1 kW). It utilizes a direct-injection fuel system equipped with a mechanical governor and a rotary injection pump. The engine operates at a rated speed of 2200 RPM and is liquid-cooled, featuring a dual paper element air cleaner to ensure operational longevity in dusty environments.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The standard transmission is a 16-speed partial power shift system, providing 16 forward and 12 reverse gears with an integrated power shuttle. An optional creeper transmission extends the range to 32 forward and 24 reverse gears, allowing for precise speed control during specialized fieldwork. The drivetrain includes four-wheel drive and differential hydraulic wet disc brakes.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system features a closed-center pressure-flow compensating (PFC) pump with a total flow capacity of 28.9 gpm (109.4 lpm), delivering 25 gpm (94.6 lpm) to the implements. It supports between two and four valves. The rear hitch is a category II system with electronic lower link control, capable of lifting up to 8,393 lbs (3,807 kg) at 24 inches behind the lift point.
PTO and Dimensions
The tractor is equipped with an independent rear power take-off (PTO) featuring an electrically-actuated wet disc clutch. It offers dual speeds of 540 RPM at 1875 engine RPM and 1000 RPM at 2210 engine RPM. The machine has a wheelbase of 95.4 inches and an operating weight of approximately 11,200 lbs.
Conclusion
The Case IH MX90C is a well-balanced utility tractor suited for varied farming tasks requiring a blend of hydraulic power and versatile transmission speeds. Its robust construction and standardized control systems make it a reliable choice for general field work and heavy-duty utility applications.
