I recently ordered a Case-IH Maxxum 125 Pro. The engine is a 6.75L (411 cu in.) diesel with electronic high pressure common rail and 4 valves/cylinder. This is a 125 hp tractor. The same sized 6 cylinder motor, high presure common rail injection and 4 valves/cylinder is used in the next size 140 Pro model and used in the next bigger Puma series of tractors. The puma series has hp ranging from 135-180. I looked up the part numbers for my tractor compared to a puma series. The turbo, ECU, and fuel pump are all the same number. The injector number changes with the puma series. Is it just the programming in the ECU and a change in injectors all that is need to go from 125 hp to 180 hp? (I realize that the transmission and frame are heavier in the Puma series.)
Can I assume that the motor in the Maxuum 125 Pro will have a relatively easy life compare to a 180 hp Puma model?
Is just reprogramming the ECU required to make my Maxuum 125 Pro into the Maxuum 140 Pro? (The frame, lift and transmissions are the same.)
