CaseIH 255 vs CaseIH DX23

Verdict: CaseIH 255 vs CaseIH DX23

The CaseIH 255 and the CaseIH DX23 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. CaseIH 255 leads on rated power with 24 hp against 23 hp. CaseIH DX23 is the lighter machine (1,495 kg vs 1,940 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. CaseIH DX23 is the newer design (2005 vs 1986). In short: choose the CaseIH 255 for outright pulling power, or the CaseIH DX23 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
