Case-IH CX 80 or Case-IH MX 80 C?

Which should you choose?

The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the CX 80 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the MX 80 C has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.

  • The Case-IH MX 80C suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 57% (34.8 L/min / 9.2 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
  • The Case-IH MX 80C suits road haulage better on this data: 30% (1,815 kg / 4,001 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.
