Overview

The CaseIH 5230 Maxxum is a utility farm tractor produced between 1992 and 1997, powered by a CDC 5.9L 6-cylinder diesel engine. The machine features a 16-speed synchronized transmission with a four-speed power shift and was offered in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations. According to Nebraska Tractor Test data, it achieved a maximum PTO performance of 91.1 hp and a maximum drawbar pull of 11,600 lbs.

Ideal Applications

Tested Power and Performance: Nebraska Tractor Test data recorded a maximum of 91.1 PTO horsepower and 78.7 drawbar horsepower, with a verified maximum pull of 11,600 lbs.

Transmission and Speed Layout: The 16-speed synchronized transmission includes four power shift gears and shuttle shifting, with reverse speeds designed to operate 22 percent faster than forward speeds.

Hydraulic and Hitch Specifications: The closed center pressure-flow compensated system provides 20 gpm of pump flow at 2600 psi, supporting a rear Type II hitch rated for 7700 lbs of lift capacity.
