ALLIS-CHALMERS 210 or J.I. Case 1270?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 210 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 1270 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The J.I. Case 1270 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 21% (13.2 L/min / 3.5 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 19% (528 kg / 1,164 lb) more three-point lift.
- The J.I. Case 1270 suits road haulage better on this data: 20% (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) more top speed.
Generated by rule set compare@4 from the figures on the side-by-side table, allowed by route “the same stated configuration”. Measured figures are compared only with measured, claimed only with claimed, at the same test condition; differences within each figure’s tolerance are not called.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The J.I. Case 1270 has 21% more hydraulic flow (13.2 L/min / 3.5 gpm) than the ALLIS-CHALMERS 210 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).

- Even on drive: all two-wheel drive.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 210 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 1270 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
