CaseIH 585 vs CaseIH CX50

Verdict: CaseIH 585 vs CaseIH CX50

The CaseIH 585 and the CaseIH CX50 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. CaseIH CX50 leads on rated power with 53 hp against 52 hp. CaseIH 585 is the lighter machine (5,640 kg vs 7,286 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. CaseIH CX50 is the newer design (1998 vs 1985). In short: choose the CaseIH CX50 for outright pulling power, or the CaseIH 585 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
