TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The CaseIH MXU125 features a 24-speed partial powershift transmission, providing enhanced versatility and efficiency for various field operations. Its 16-speed partial powershift option may offer smoother shifting and better fuel efficiency, particularly in less demanding scenarios such as row crop cultivation. However, operators should consider potential complexity in maintenance and the learning curve associated with utilizing advanced transmission features effectively.

TRANSMISSION 1

The CaseIH MXU125 tractor features a partial powershift transmission, offering 24 forward and reverse gears, which allows for smooth and efficient gear changes under load due to its electro-hydraulic wet disc clutch. Its synchronized four gears across three ranges enhance operational flexibility, making it suitable for diverse agricultural tasks while optimizing engine performance. A potential challenge may arise in high-torque applications where the limited gear range may necessitate frequent shifting to maintain optimal power delivery.

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 MXU125's partial powershift transmission provides a total of 16 forward and reverse speeds, which enhances operational flexibility for various field conditions. The electro-hydraulic wet disc clutch ensures smooth engagement and longevity under heavy-duty applications, while the Auto Shift feature optimizes gear changes based on load, improving fuel efficiency and productivity. However, operators may face a learning curve to fully utilize the transmission's capabilities, particularly in complex terrains where load fluctuations are common.

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

MECHANICAL

The CaseIH MXU125 tractor offers a versatile 4x2 and optional 4x4 MFWD chassis, which enhances traction and stability for various field conditions. The electro-hydraulic rear differential lock improves maneuverability, particularly in slippery or uneven terrains, while the hydrostatic power steering aids in precision handling. With a choice of 24-speed or 16-speed partial powershift transmissions, operators benefit from improved control over speed and torque, making it suitable for both fieldwork and transport scenarios.

CASEIH MXU125 TIRES

The CaseIH MXU125 tractor is equipped with standard agricultural tires that can be configured for either 2WD or 4WD; the 2WD uses a 10.00x16 front tire and 18.4R38 rear tire, while the 4WD variant features 14.9R28 front and 18.4R38 rear tires. A primary advantage of the 4WD configuration is improved traction and stability on challenging terrains, making it suitable for various field applications. However, the 4WD version may present increased operational costs due to higher maintenance needs and fuel consumption compared to the lighter 2WD model.
