Case-IH MX 180 or Case-IH MX 200?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Case-IH MX 200: power at the PTO shaft and maximum permissible mass.
- The Case-IH MX 200 suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: 10% (13.0 kW / 17.4 hp) more power at the PTO shaft.
- The Case-IH MX 200 suits road haulage better on this data: 12% (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 MX 200 has 10% more power at the PTO (13.0 kW / 17.4 hp) than the Case-IH MX 180 (both power at the PTO, measured by a laboratory at maximum power).
- The Case-IH MX 200 has 12% higher maximum permissible mass (1,500 kg / 3,307 lb) than the Case-IH MX 180 (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- Even on drawbar power (both drawbar power, measured by a laboratory at maximum power): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- 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 three-point lift (both lift through the full range at the hitch ends, 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 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 difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- 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.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, a creeper range and PTO independence.
