CaseIH MX180 Magnum vs CaseIH Puma 145

Verdict: CaseIH MX180 Magnum vs CaseIH Puma 145

The CaseIH MX180 Magnum and the CaseIH Puma 145 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. CaseIH MX180 Magnum leads on rated power with 147 hp against 146 hp. CaseIH Puma 145 is the lighter machine (6,509 kg vs 17,700 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
