Case-IH 7140 Magnum or Deutz-Fahr AgroStar 8.31?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 7140 Magnum has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the AgroStar 8.31 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroStar 8.31 suits road haulage better on this data: 33% (10.0 km/h / 6.2 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 Case-IH 7140 Magnum has 23% more hydraulic flow (20.2 L/min / 5.3 gpm) than the Deutz-Fahr AgroStar 8.31 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).

- The Deutz-Fahr AgroStar 8.31 is newer: production began 5 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on maximum permissible mass (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.

- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 7140 Magnum has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the AgroStar 8.31 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 and a creeper range.
