Case-IH MXU 125 Full specifications

CNH F4DE0684B*D six-cylinder or IVECO-NEF F4DE 0684 B diesel. The brochure said 123.2 horsepower. OECD strapped one to a dynamometer and got 116.1 at the power take-off — and that is the number to size an implement from.

How much horsepower does an MXU 125 have at the PTO?

At the PTO shaft an MXU 125 has 116.1 hp (86.6 kW), measured on OECD Test 2231 — against 123.2 hp claimed for the engine. The CNH F4DE0684B*D gave 121.2 hp at the PTO on Test 2259. 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 MXU 125 burn per hour?

Measured on OECD Test 2231 (tested as the MXU 125 (4 WD)), at each condition the laboratory recorded.

1 other test of this model is on record; figures differ between configurations.

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