Case IH Puma 230 Horsepower FAQ
How much horsepower does the Case IH Puma 230 have?
The listed engine output is 231 hp, close to the 210 hp benchmark average. That puts the tractor in a normal working range for this benchmark group, with 231 hp as the main engine number.
How much PTO horsepower does the Case IH Puma 230 have?
The listed PTO output is 195 hp, close to the 175 hp benchmark average. Use 195 PTO hp as the practical implement-sizing number.
How much drawbar horsepower does the Case IH Puma 230 have?
The listed drawbar output is 165.2 hp, close to the 150 hp benchmark average. It gives a realistic pulling-power figure of about 165.2 hp.
How much engine power reaches the PTO on the Case IH Puma 230?
The PTO-to-engine transfer works out to 84.4%, from 231 engine hp to 195 PTO hp. That is a normal usable range for judging PTO implement fit.
How efficient is the Case IH Puma 230 for pulling work?
The drawbar-to-engine transfer is about 71.5%, from 231 engine hp to 165.2 drawbar hp. That gives a more grounded pulling estimate than engine horsepower alone.
Is the Case IH Puma 230 better judged by PTO hp or drawbar hp?
The drawbar output is about 84.7% of PTO output, comparing 165.2 drawbar hp with 195 PTO hp. That helps separate pulling ability from PTO implement ability.
How big is the Case IH Puma 230 engine?
The engine displacement is 411 ci, below the 520 ci benchmark average. Smaller displacement usually means less engine size behind each horsepower number.
Is the Case IH Puma 230 engine stressed for its PTO horsepower?
The engine has about 2.1 cubic inches per PTO hp, using 411 ci and 195 PTO hp. That is a smaller-displacement, higher-output style result.
How much PTO horsepower per liter does the Case IH Puma 230 make?
The output density is about 29.1 PTO hp per liter, using 195 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.
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.
