Case IH MX240 Magnum Horsepower FAQ
How much PTO horsepower does the Case IH MX240 Magnum have?
The listed PTO output is 205 hp, above the 175 hp benchmark average. That is the number to use for mowers, balers, augers, pumps and other PTO tools that need up to about 205 hp.
How much drawbar horsepower does the Case IH MX240 Magnum have?
The listed drawbar output is 178.6 hp, above the 150 hp benchmark average. That makes the 178.6 hp drawbar number more useful than engine hp for tillage and heavy pulling.
Is the Case IH MX240 Magnum better judged by PTO hp or drawbar hp?
The drawbar output is about 87.1% of PTO output, comparing 178.6 drawbar hp with 205 PTO hp. That helps separate pulling ability from PTO implement ability.
How big is the Case IH MX240 Magnum engine?
The engine displacement is 504.5 ci, close to the 520 ci benchmark average. It is close to the normal engine-size range for this horsepower class.
Is the Case IH MX240 Magnum engine stressed for its PTO horsepower?
The engine has about 2.5 cubic inches per PTO hp, using 504.5 ci and 205 PTO hp. That is a smaller-displacement, higher-output style result.
How much PTO horsepower per liter does the Case IH MX240 Magnum make?
The output density is about 24.7 PTO hp per liter, using 205 PTO hp and 8.3 L of displacement. Higher hp/L means more output squeezed from each liter; lower hp/L usually means a more relaxed engine tune.
What rpm is the Case IH MX240 Magnum rated at?
The rated speed is 2,000 rpm, close to the 2,100 rpm benchmark average. The 2,000 rpm figure is around normal for this class.
