TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The CaseIH MX80C tractor features a 16-speed partial power shift transmission, providing smooth and efficient gear transitions for versatile field operations. The additional 32-speed creeper option enhances low-speed control, ideal for precision tasks like planting or tilling in tight spaces. However, the complexity of the transmission may lead to a steeper learning curve for operators unfamiliar with partial power shift systems.

Gears 16 forward and 12 reverse
Clutch hydraulic wet discs
Description Four power shift speeds (1-4) in four synchronized ranges (I-IV) with power shuttle. Three ranges in reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The CaseIH MX80C's creeper transmission offers a total of 32 forward and 24 reverse gears, providing exceptional control for precision tasks such as tilling or plowing on varied terrain. The extensive gear range allows operators to select optimal speed and torque, enhancing productivity in demanding applications. However, the complexity of the transmission may require more maintenance and operator training to ensure efficient use.

CASEIH MX80C TIRES

The CaseIH MX80C features a robust tire configuration with 12.4R-24 front tires for excellent maneuverability in tight farming conditions and 16.9-34 rear tires that enhance traction and stability during heavy towing or field work. The choice of these agricultural tires supports soil preservation by minimizing compaction while ensuring optimal ground contact. However, users should consider the trade-off between flotation and load capacity, particularly in challenging terrains where tire size may impact performance.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The CaseIH MX80C tractor features a substantial wheelbase of 95.4 inches, providing stability for heavy-duty applications and enhancing maneuverability in tighter environments. Weighing between 9,921 to 10,580 pounds, it is suited for tackling varied terrain, though such weight can hinder transport over softer soils without adequate flotation from the larger rear tires (16.9-34). Equipped with front tires of size 12.4R-24, it offers a balance between traction and comfort, although operators may need to consider tire options based on specific field conditions and load requirements.
