TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The CaseIH MXU100 features a 24-speed partial powershift transmission, enabling versatile speed management ideal for diverse agricultural tasks. Its 16-speed and 12-speed configurations, while offering simpler controls, may limit operational flexibility in varying terrain. The choice of transmission should align with the intended application, as higher speeds benefit larger acreages, while fewer speeds suit more specialized operations.

TRANSMISSION 1

The CaseIH MXU100 features a partial powershift transmission with 24 forward and reverse gears, offering excellent versatility for various agricultural tasks. The electro-hydraulic wet disc clutch ensures smooth gear engagement and durability under heavy loads, reducing operator fatigue. However, the complexity of synchronization in gears and ranges may require careful handling to avoid operational issues, particularly in high-demand scenarios such as tillage or heavy transport.

Type partial powershift
Gears 24 forward and reverse
Clutch electro-hydraulic wet discs
Description Four gears (1-4) in three ranges (I-II-III) with low-high power shift. Gears and ranges are synchronized

TRANSMISSION 2

The CaseIH MXU100 features a partial powershift transmission with 16 forward and reverse gears, allowing for versatile operation across varying terrain and load conditions. Its electro-hydraulic wet disc clutch enhances durability and provides smoother engagement, while the Auto Shift feature optimizes performance by automatically adjusting shifts based on load, which can lead to increased productivity. However, users should be aware of the complexity involved in the powershift system, which may require additional maintenance and operator training.

Type partial powershift
Gears 16 forward and reverse
Clutch electro-hydraulic wet discs
Description Four gears (1-4) in four ranges (A-D). Power shift between gears. Auto Shift feature automatically matches shifts within selected range to match load

TRANSMISSION 3

The CaseIH MXU100 tractor features a 12-speed transmission with four gears across three ranges, providing versatile speed options for various agricultural tasks. This gear setup allows for efficient power management and flexibility in different terrains, enhancing productivity during operations. However, the complexity of the gearing system may require more operator training to maximize performance and ease of use.

Gears 12 forward and reverse
Description Four gears (1-4) in three ranges (I-II-III)

MECHANICAL

The CaseIH MXU100 tractor features a 4x2 2WD or 4x4 MFWD option, providing versatility for various terrains; the MFWD configuration enhances traction on challenging ground. The electro-hydraulic differential lock, standard on the rear, increases traction under load but may introduce complexity if malfunctioning, while hydrostatic power steering facilitates ease of operation. With a choice of 24-speed, 16-speed, or 12-speed partial powershift transmissions, operators can optimize performance for diverse agricultural tasks, though the complexity of multiple gears may require additional operator training.

CASEIH MXU100 TIRES

The CaseIH MXU100 tractor offers two drive configurations: 2WD for maneuverability in light-duty operations and 4WD for enhanced traction in more challenging agricultural conditions. The chosen tire sizes, with a wider rear tire (16.9R38), provide stability and support, while the front tire options (7.50x16 for 2WD and 14.9R24 for 4WD) cater to varying load requirements and terrain types. Pros of 4WD include better soil preservation and lower slippage on wet fields; however, it may increase operational complexity and maintenance needs.
