ENGINE DETAIL
The CaseIH MXU115 is powered by a robust 6-cylinder turbocharged intercooled diesel engine, making it suitable for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. With a displacement of 6.7L and a gross power output of 116hp at 2200 RPM, it offers a favorable power-to-weight ratio ideal for demanding field operations. However, the high compression ratio of 17.0:1 may require careful attention to fuel quality to avoid pre-ignition issues, especially during cold starts, despite the grid heater assistance.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The CaseIH MXU115 features a 16-speed or optional 24-speed partial powershift transmission, providing efficient shifting under load which optimizes power delivery and fuel efficiency. This versatility allows operators to match gear ratios to varying field conditions, enhancing productivity in both tillage and transportation scenarios. However, partial powershift systems may introduce increased complexity in maintenance compared to full powershift systems.

| Gears | 16 forward and reverse |
TRANSMISSION 2
The CaseIH MXU115 features a partial powershift transmission offering 24 forward and reverse gears, which allows for precise speed control and enhanced versatility in various agricultural tasks. This gearbox configuration provides a balance between speed management and maneuverability, making it suitable for both field work and transport. However, operators may face a learning curve in mastering the optimal gear selection for different operational scenarios.

CASEIH MXU115 TIRES
The CaseIH MXU115 tractor, available in 2WD or 4WD configurations, features standard agricultural tires that enhance traction and stability, crucial for diverse field conditions. The 10.00x16 front tires (2WD) yield improved maneuverability, while the 14.9R28 front (4WD) offers better weight distribution, thus enhancing performance in challenging terrains. However, the choice between 2WD and 4WD can pose a challenge; 4WD generally provides superior traction but at the cost of increased fuel consumption and maintenance complexity.
