Overview
CaseIH 5120: The Case IH 5120 Maxxum utility tractor is a compact, all-round machine built for mid-size chores on a mixed farm. It relies on a 94 hp diesel and a hydraulic system designed to respond to demanding implements.
Planetary final drives and a robust three-point hitch framework provide stable performance, while the hydraulic system delivers around 20.7 gpm of lift-flow to the hitch and remote valves.
Manuals and OECD test reports are available to support service and parts decisions. Confirm exact equipment by serial range and configuration before ordering parts or performing maintenance.

Parts Checks Before Ordering
Do not order CaseIH 5120 parts from the model name alone. Match the part to the tractor's model code, serial range, engine, transmission, PTO setup, and build year before choosing service parts.
Filters, fluids, belts, electrical parts, clutch and PTO parts, and hydraulic parts can vary by setup. Exact part numbers need a parts catalog, manual, or trusted supplier source before they become recommendations.
Accuracy Note
Tractor specifications can vary by year, region, factory configuration, installed equipment, and later repairs. Match serial range, engine, transmission, PTO setup, and model code before ordering parts or doing service work.
