Tractor overview
The Case IH Vestrum 120 is a cab-only, MFD utility tractor built around a 4.5-litre four-cylinder turbocharged FPT engine. The current US model page lists 120 rated horsepower, 130 maximum horsepower and 102 PTO horsepower. Buyers can choose the 24-forward/24-reverse ActiveDrive 8 dual-clutch powershift or the stepless CVXDrive transmission, both with a 40 km/h top-speed specification in the US sheet. The closed-centre load-sensing hydraulic system delivers 108 L/min, while the Category 2 rear hitch is rated at 3,039 kg in the North American spec sheet. Standard published dimensions include a 2,490 mm wheelbase and 5,851 kg tractor weight. This combination makes it well suited to loader, transport, hay and mixed-farm work. Its main buying decision is transmission choice: ActiveDrive 8 offers stepped mechanical efficiency and lower complexity, while CVXDrive prioritizes seamless speed control. The L113 loader is officially matched to the series with up to 1,590 kg lift capacity.
Who this tractor suits
Not ideal for
- Buyers wanting an open-station tractor
- Jobs requiring more than the published 102 PTO HP
Practical specification guide
What the headline specifications mean during real tractor work.
Engine and PTO workload
Case IH Vestrum 120 uses a 4.5 L (273 cu in.) engine rated at 120 HP rated / 130 HP maximum, with 102 HP at the PTO. Size balers, mowers and other continuously driven implements from the PTO figure, not the temporary maximum engine rating.
Transmission choice in real work
Buyers can choose ActiveDrive 8 dual-clutch powershift / CVXDrive CVT. The available layout is 24F/24R ActiveDrive 8 or stepless CVXDrive, with a maximum travel speed of Up to 40 km/h; ActiveDrive 8 suits stepped field and transport work, while CVXDrive favors seamless speed control.
Hydraulic implement performance
The closed-centre load sensing system delivers 28.5 gpm (108 L/min) and the rear hitch is rated at 3,039 kg standard rear-hitch lift. This is the key capacity check for loaders, hydraulic motors and mounted implements.
PTO and hitch compatibility
The Category 2 rear hitch works with Independent rear PTO offering 540 / 540E / 1,000 rpm. Confirm shaft speed, implement category, drawbar load and hydraulic connections on each attachment.
Chassis and service planning
A 2,490 mm wheelbase and 5,851 kg base weight provide a stable utility-tractor platform but increase transport and soil-compaction considerations. Published maintenance guidance lists Engine service interval published as 600 hours.
Configuration & variant guide
Options and market differences that can change how this tractor is equipped or used.
| Option | Available setup | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Transmission variant | ActiveDrive 8 dual-clutch powershift / CVXDrive CVT | ActiveDrive 8 provides fixed powershift ratios and familiar step changes; CVXDrive provides stepless speed control and can reduce operator workload in variable-speed tasks. |
| Cab and control package | Cab only; Air-suspension seat; MultiControl armrest / transmission controls | This is a cab-only configuration with air conditioning listed as Yes. Seat, armrest and control package choices affect comfort during long loader or transport shifts. |
| Remote-valve package | 2 mechanical + 1 electronic standard; optional packages available | The number and type of mechanical or electronic rear remotes determines how many hydraulic implement functions can be controlled directly from the tractor. |
| Front equipment package | Front hitch: Optional; front PTO: Optional; published loader capacity: 1,590 kg maximum with L113 loader | Front hitch, front PTO and loader equipment are configuration-dependent and can change axle loading, ballast needs and total cost. |
| Regional and dealer specification | United States / North American specification | Tires, lighting, PTO economy modes, hydraulic valves and electronic features may differ by order code; compare the dealer build sheet with the North American source specification. |
