TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The CaseIH MX120 tractor features a 16-speed synchromesh transmission combined with a 16-speed partial power shift, allowing for seamless gear changes and enhanced operational efficiency. The 32-speed creeper option enables super-slow speeds suitable for accurate tasks such as planting or tillage, providing versatility for various agricultural applications. However, the complexity of the transmission system may require more maintenance and could present a learning curve for less experienced operators.

CASEIH MX120 TIRES

The CaseIH MX120 tractor, equipped with Ag front tires (11.00-16) and Ag rear tires (18.4R-38), offers a balanced configuration for various agricultural tasks, providing stability and traction in both field and transport scenarios. The larger rear tires enhance power transfer and soil penetration, while the front tires contribute to improved handling and maneuverability. However, be aware of potential limitations in narrow rows or tight spaces due to the overall width of the tire setup.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The CaseIH MX120 tractor, available in both 2WD and 4WD configurations, offers a 110.7-inch wheelbase for 2WD and a slightly shorter 106.3-inch wheelbase for 4WD, affecting stability and maneuverability. Weighing between 11,300 to 12,460 pounds, this tractor provides substantial ground traction and power, especially beneficial for heavier tillage tasks. However, the tire size (11.00-16 front and 18.4R-38 rear) indicates a potential for limited flotation in soft soil conditions, possibly leading to compaction or turf damage without the appropriate application.
