TRANSMISSION 1
The CaseIH MXU135's electro-hydraulic wet disc clutch system offers smooth gear engagement, enhancing operator comfort and efficiency in both forward and reverse with 24 total gears. The synchronized four gears across three ranges facilitate seamless shifting, making it suitable for various applications like tillage or hauling. However, users may need to manage the complexity of the partial power shift during transitions between ranges to optimize performance under load.
| Type | partial power shift |
| 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 MXU135 features a partial powershift transmission with 16 gears, allowing for efficient maneuverability in various field conditions. Its electro-hydraulic wet disc clutch provides smooth engagement and minimizes wear, which is advantageous for prolonged usage. The Auto Shift feature optimizes gear selection based on load, enhancing fuel efficiency but may require operator familiarity to maximize its benefits.

| 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 MXU135 features a versatile 4WD configuration with electro-hydraulic differential lock, enhancing traction in challenging terrains. Its 24-speed partial power shift transmission allows for seamless power management for a variety of applications, making it adaptable but may require operator proficiency to maximize efficiency. The hydraulic wet disc brakes provide reliable stopping power; however, maintenance on hydraulic systems can be more intensive compared to mechanical options.

CASEIH MXU135 TIRES
The CaseIH MXU135 tractor offers versatility with both 2WD and 4WD configurations, enhancing traction depending on field conditions. The 2WD model, equipped with narrower front tires, may be more fuel-efficient on flat terrain, while the 4WD version offers superior stability and performance in challenging conditions, such as muddy or sloped fields. However, 4WD may lead to increased tire wear and maintenance costs, making it essential to assess the operating environment when selecting the appropriate configuration.
