margerisons Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I am wondering since NH and Case Ih are the same company(CNH Global) I'm wodnering what is the Case version of the NH TM series.Ny guess is that its the MXM series but I'm not completely sure. Case MXM190: http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2851157620101137544xdQZVo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 You're in murky territory here Stephen ... The TM was designed before the C-IH merger and as such is a Ford / Fiat rather than NH / C-IH. Started off, as you know, as the 60 series Ford and M series Fiat. The competition from Case IH at the time was the original Maxxum MX range, a Case IH design and successor to the original Maxxum 5000 range. Now, when the CNH merger came about, the new company had to sell off some designs, hence Landini bought the rights to all the Case machines and McCormick came about, changing the shade of red and the jigging around with the model designations from memory. What that left Case with, was no product range. Some machines were just painted red, some were newly designed [i know nothing of the new Case designations since the demise of the original MX series so someone else will have to take this up] I believe you're right in saying the early Maxxum MXM was a TM with a different bonnet and roof panel, but it was a shortlived stopgap and was soon replaced by the whatevers - Pumas etc - , which are the NH T6000, T7000 & T8000's. I think that the NH models which are old school NH stop at the TM range, T4000, TD4000 and T5000 - the smaller T ranges are even now still heavily accented with Fiat influences from the 80's & 90's. Everything else available now is a CNH machine and as such has a red opposite which can as justifiably be called a Case IH as it can a New Holland.

Gav836 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 The MXM is identical to the TM in just about every way except for body panels and powershift controls....the one big difference is that the Case engineers will be out far more than the NH engineers as they were built in a Ford factory where the staff weren't too keen on building them or anything red so they tend to go wrong a lot more : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
