Overview

The CaseIH 5240 Maxxum is a farm tractor produced between 1992 and 1997, featuring a 5.9L 6-cylinder CDC turbocharged diesel engine. It was available in two-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations with a 16-speed synchronized transmission and a closed-center pressure-flow compensated hydraulic system.

Ideal Applications

Tested Performance Metrics: Nebraska Tractor Test data recorded a maximum of 102.9 PTO horsepower and 92.3 drawbar horsepower, with a maximum pull capacity of 12,160 lbs.

Mechanical Configuration: The tractor is equipped with an independent 540/1000 RPM rear PTO, an electro-hydraulic rear differential lock, and a choice of flange or bar rear axles.

Transmission and Speed Control: The 16-speed transmission includes four power shift gears across four synchronized ranges with shuttle shifting, where reverse speeds are 22 percent faster than forward speeds.
