Case-IH MX 110 or Case-IH MX 120?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Case-IH MX 120: power at the PTO shaft and drawbar power.
- The Case-IH MX 120 suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: 5% (3.9 kW / 5.2 hp) more power at the PTO shaft.
- The Case-IH MX 120 suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: 11% (7.1 kW / 9.5 hp) more drawbar power.
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 MX 120 has 5% more power at the PTO (3.9 kW / 5.2 hp) than the Case-IH MX 110 (both power at the PTO, measured by a laboratory at maximum power).
- The Case-IH MX 120 has 11% more drawbar power (7.1 kW / 9.5 hp) than the Case-IH MX 110 (both drawbar power, measured by a laboratory at maximum power).
- Even on hydraulic flow (both pump flow, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on maximum permissible mass (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- 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 drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the MX 110: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Case-IH MX110”); the MX 120: lift through the full range at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Case-IH MX120”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, a creeper range and PTO independence.
