Case IH MXU135 Horsepower FAQ
How much horsepower does the Case IH MXU135 have?
The listed engine output is 135 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 135 hp.
How much PTO horsepower does the Case IH MXU135 have?
The listed PTO output is 115 hp, below the 175 hp benchmark average. For real use, size PTO implements below or near 115 hp rather than using a bigger engine-horsepower number.
How much drawbar horsepower does the Case IH MXU135 have?
The listed drawbar output is 94.4 hp, below the 150 hp benchmark average. For pulling work, the safer assumption is about 94.4 hp at the drawbar before soil, ballast and tire limits are considered.
How much engine power reaches the PTO on the Case IH MXU135?
The PTO-to-engine transfer works out to 85.2%, from 135 engine hp to 115 PTO hp. That is a normal usable range for judging PTO implement fit.
How efficient is the Case IH MXU135 for pulling work?
The drawbar-to-engine transfer is about 69.9%, from 135 engine hp to 94.4 drawbar hp. That gives a more grounded pulling estimate than engine horsepower alone.
Is the Case IH MXU135 better judged by PTO hp or drawbar hp?
The drawbar output is about 82.1% of PTO output, comparing 94.4 drawbar hp with 115 PTO hp. That helps separate pulling ability from PTO implement ability.
How big is the Case IH MXU135 engine?
The engine displacement is 410.6 ci, below the 520 ci benchmark average. Smaller displacement usually means less engine size behind each horsepower number.
Is the Case IH MXU135 engine stressed for its PTO horsepower?
The engine has about 3.6 cubic inches per PTO hp, using 410.6 ci and 115 PTO hp. That is close to the normal benchmark for this category.
How much PTO horsepower per liter does the Case IH MXU135 make?
The output density is about 17.2 PTO hp per liter, using 115 PTO hp and 6.7 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.
