CaseIH Farmall 120U vs CaseIH MX120 Maxxum

Verdict: CaseIH Farmall 120U vs CaseIH MX120 Maxxum

The CaseIH Farmall 120U and the CaseIH MX120 Maxxum are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. CaseIH MX120 Maxxum leads on rated power with 105 hp against 104 hp. CaseIH Farmall 120U is the lighter machine (4,550 kg vs 11,300 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
