Introduction
Case IH MXU135 Utility Tractor
The Case IH MXU135 is a utility tractor produced between 2004 and 2006 at the Basildon plant in England. Part of the MXU series, this machine was engineered to provide reliable performance for varied agricultural tasks, offering a balance between engine power and operational versatility.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 6.7-liter, 6-cylinder turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine. It features a compression ratio of 17.0:1 and utilizes a Bosch electronic direct injection system with 8-hole injectors. The engine delivers a gross power output of 135 hp (100.7 kW) at a rated speed of 2200 RPM, supported by a liquid-cooling system and a dual-element paper air cleaner.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The MXU135 offers two primary transmission configurations: a 24-speed partial power shift and a 16-speed partial powershift. Both utilize electro-hydraulic wet disc clutches. The 24-speed variant features four gears in three ranges with a high-low power shift, while the 16-speed option includes an Auto Shift feature that automatically adjusts gear selection within a range based on load. Final drives are of the planetary inboard type, and the tractor includes electro-hydraulic differential locks as standard.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system is of the Pressure-Flow Compensated (PFC) type, delivering a total flow of 37 gpm (140.0 lpm) with a system pressure of 3118 psi (215.0 bar). The rear hitch is a Category II/IIIN configuration equipped with electronic draft control, capable of a maximum lift capacity of 12,185 lbs (5527 kg). The system supports between two and four rear remote valves for implement management.
PTO and Operator Environment
The independent rear PTO operates at 540 and 1000 RPM, engaged via an electro-hydraulic wet plate clutch. The tractor comes with a standard cab, power steering, and differential hydraulic wet disc brakes to ensure operator comfort and safety. It is available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations to accommodate different field conditions.
Conclusion
The Case IH MXU135 is a well-rounded utility tractor suited for medium-to-large scale farming operations. Its combination of a high-capacity hydraulic system, flexible transmission options, and substantial lift capacity makes it a capable choice for operators requiring a durable machine for diverse field work and implement handling.
