Case-IH 5230 (DT) or Deutz-Fahr DX 6.10?
Which should you choose?
The figures split: the Case-IH 5230 (DT) is ahead on hydraulic flow; the Deutz-Fahr DX 6.10 is ahead on three-point lift.
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 Case-IH 5230 (DT) has 35% more hydraulic flow (19.7 L/min / 5.2 gpm) than the Deutz-Fahr DX 6.10 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr DX 6.10 has 16% more lift (723 kg / 1,594 lb) than the Case-IH 5230 (DT) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH 5230 (DT) is newer: production began 6 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on power at the PTO shaft (both power at the PTO, claimed): the difference is under the 10% threshold for claimed figures, too small to call.
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
