Rated speed is 2,200 rpm. The machine is 4,450 mm long, 2,357 mm wide and 2,855 mm high. The unladen weight is 5,080 kg. The wheelbase measures 2,422 mm. Ground clearance is 385 mm. Top speed is 40 km/h. The tank holds 189 litres. Transmission: 16 V/12 R and 32 V/24 R. The engine is water-cooled. Tyres: front 420/70 R 28 AS, rear 520/70 R 38 AS. The fuel is diesel. The bore measures 100 mm. The stroke is 127 mm. The compression ratio is 17.25:1. Construction: unit construction (no separate frame). The linkage is category II. The PTO runs at 540/1000 rpm. The MX/C-Baureihe series covers 3 models. Rated output within it ranges from 84 to 102 hp; the MX 90 C sits in the lower part of that range with 90 hp. Its immediate neighbours are the MX 80 C below it with 84 hp and the MX 100 C above it with 102 hp. Unladen weight within it ranges from 4,800 to 5,340 kg; here the MX 90 C sits in the middle of that range with 5,080 kg. 1222 Case IH models across 76 series are on record.

Case IH MX/C series, MX 80C to MX 100C – four-cylinder diesels with 4,000 cm³ displacement: 61.8 to 75 kW, 4,800 to 5,340 kg unladen weight

The MX series of Case IH with the suffix C forms a version of the mid to upper general-purpose tractor class; the types MX 80 C, MX 90 C and MX 100 C share the same four-cylinder engine of 3,990 cm³ displacement, the number in the type ordering the power step. At Case IH, the MX designation generally marks the mid to upper general-purpose tractor class, while the C suffix denotes a particular equipment line within that class.

The register lists 3 versions with 61.8 to 75 kW (84 to 102 hp) from four-cylinder diesel engines of a constant 3,990 cm³ displacement at a constant 2,200 rpm, torque of 296 to 352 Nm. Unladen weights range from 4,800 to 5,340 kg, lengths from 4,160 to 4,650 mm, widths from 2,300 to 2,455 mm and heights from 2,809 to 2,855 mm.

As powerful general-purpose tractors, the MX-C series is aimed at medium and larger arable farms for tillage, drilling and haulage work and stands in direct competition with comparable series from New Holland, Fendt and John Deere. The powerful hydraulics and high drawbar output made the MX-C models suitable also for running heavy tillage implements such as cultivators and disc harrows.

When buying used, what counts is the operating hours and service history of the four-cylinder diesel, the condition of clutch and gearbox, the function of hydraulics and PTO, and corrosion on the cab and panels; parts run through the Case IH dealer network.

What to check before buying

  • Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
  • Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
  • Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
  • Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
  • Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
  • Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
  • Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
