Case-IH CX 100 or Case-IH MXU 100 Maxxum?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Case-IH MXU 100 Maxxum: hydraulic flow and maximum permissible mass.
- The Case-IH MXU 100 Maxxum suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 37% (22.5 L/min / 5.9 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Case-IH MXU 100 Maxxum suits road haulage better on this data: 25% (1,500 kg / 3,307 lb) more maximum permissible mass.
Generated by rule set compare@4 from the figures on the side-by-side table, allowed by route “the same stated configuration”. Measured figures are compared only with measured, claimed only with claimed, at the same test condition; differences within each figure’s tolerance are not called.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Case-IH MXU 100 Maxxum has 37% more hydraulic flow (22.5 L/min / 5.9 gpm) than the Case-IH CX 100 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH MXU 100 Maxxum is 10% heavier (439 kg / 968 lb) than the Case-IH CX 100 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH MXU 100 Maxxum has 25% higher maximum permissible mass (1,500 kg / 3,307 lb) than the Case-IH CX 100 (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH MXU 100 Maxxum is newer: production began 6 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on power at the PTO shaft (both power at the PTO, claimed): the difference is under the 10% threshold for claimed figures, too small to call.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the CX 100: lift through the full range at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Case-IH CX100”); the MXU 100 Maxxum: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Case-IH MXU100”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- No call on forward gears: sources disagree on the figure for the CX 100.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power and a creeper range.
