Case-IH JX1100U or Case-IH MXU 100 Maxxum?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the JX1100U: power at the PTO, measured by a laboratory at maximum power (OECD Test 2278); the MXU 100 Maxxum: power at the PTO, claimed (Traktorenlexikon, “Case-IH MXU100”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- The Case-IH MXU 100 Maxxum suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 38% (22.8 L/min / 6.0 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Case-IH MXU 100 Maxxum suits road haulage better on this data: 21% (1,300 kg / 2,866 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.
