Case-IH MX 220 specs: hp, weight, years

Consolidated Diesel Company 6TAA-830 six-cylinder or CUMMINS CDC 6TAA-830 diesel. The brochure said 221.0 horsepower. OECD strapped one to a dynamometer and got 209.2 at the power take-off — and that is the number to size an implement from. Compared at the engine's rated speed, where the brochure figure is quoted, the shaft gave 186.7 hp — 15.5% below the claim.

How much horsepower does an MX 220 have at the PTO?

At the PTO shaft an MX 220 has 209.2 hp (156.0 kW), measured on OECD Test 1892 — against 221.0 hp claimed for the engine. Between the flywheel and the PTO you lose the fan, the alternator, the hydraulic pump and the transmission — which is why the brochure figure is the wrong one to size an implement from.

How much fuel does an MX 220 burn per hour?

Measured on OECD Test 1892 (tested as the MX 220 (4 WD)), at each condition the laboratory recorded.

Cost per hour = fuel used per hour × your fuel price (per litre, or per US gallon for the gal/h figure).
