CaseIH 5130 Maxxum vs CaseIH 856 XL

Verdict: CaseIH 5130 Maxxum vs CaseIH 856 XL

The CaseIH 5130 Maxxum and the CaseIH 856 XL are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. CaseIH 5130 Maxxum leads on rated power with 86 hp against 85 hp. CaseIH 856 XL is the lighter machine (8,465 kg vs 9,458 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
