Case IH MXM155 Maxxum Horsepower FAQ
How much horsepower does the Case IH MXM155 Maxxum have?
The listed engine output is 153 hp, below the 210 hp benchmark average. That is a lower-power result, so the smarter match is lighter implements and jobs that do not demand more than about 153 hp.
How much PTO horsepower does the Case IH MXM155 Maxxum have?
The listed PTO output is 125 hp, below the 175 hp benchmark average. For real use, size PTO implements below or near 125 hp rather than using a bigger engine-horsepower number.
How much drawbar horsepower does the Case IH MXM155 Maxxum have?
The listed drawbar output is 108.5 hp, below the 150 hp benchmark average. For pulling work, the safer assumption is about 108.5 hp at the drawbar before soil, ballast and tire limits are considered.
How much engine power reaches the PTO on the Case IH MXM155 Maxxum?
The PTO-to-engine transfer works out to 81.7%, from 153 engine hp to 125 PTO hp. That is a normal usable range for judging PTO implement fit.
How efficient is the Case IH MXM155 Maxxum for pulling work?
The drawbar-to-engine transfer is about 70.9%, from 153 engine hp to 108.5 drawbar hp. That gives a more grounded pulling estimate than engine horsepower alone.
Is the Case IH MXM155 Maxxum better judged by PTO hp or drawbar hp?
The drawbar output is about 86.8% of PTO output, comparing 108.5 drawbar hp with 125 PTO hp. That helps separate pulling ability from PTO implement ability.
How big is the Case IH MXM155 Maxxum engine?
The engine displacement is 456 ci, below the 520 ci benchmark average. Smaller displacement usually means less engine size behind each horsepower number.
Is the Case IH MXM155 Maxxum engine stressed for its PTO horsepower?
The engine has about 3.6 cubic inches per PTO hp, using 456 ci and 125 PTO hp. That is close to the normal benchmark for this category.
How much PTO horsepower per liter does the Case IH MXM155 Maxxum make?
The output density is about 16.7 PTO hp per liter, using 125 PTO hp and 7.5 L of displacement. Higher hp/L means more output squeezed from each liter; lower hp/L usually means a more relaxed engine tune.
Official information note
Horsepower and engine specs can vary by year, market, engine option, fuel system, test standard and tractor configuration. Check the operator manual, spec plate, parts book and official caseih.com website before buying parts, sizing implements or making repair decisions.
