Case-IH CVX 170 specs: hp, weight, years
SISU WD 629.90 six-cylinder diesel or Sisu diesel WD 620.90. The manufacturer claimed 167.8 horsepower. The only laboratory test on record is of one version: OECD Test 1997 measured 157.4 hp at the PTO of the CVX 170 (4 WD). Compared at the engine's rated speed, where the brochure figure is quoted, the shaft gave 150.3 hp — 10.4% below the claim.
