Case-IH 7150 Magnum or Massey Ferguson MF 8170 A?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Massey Ferguson MF 8170 A: hydraulic flow, three-point lift and maximum permissible mass. It is also ahead on top speed and PTO speeds.
- The Massey Ferguson MF 8170 A suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 540 rpm.
- The Massey Ferguson MF 8170 A suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 26% (24.4 L/min / 6.4 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 37% (2,660 kg / 5,864 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Massey Ferguson MF 8170 A suits road haulage better on this data: 34% (3,925 kg / 8,653 lb) more maximum permissible mass and 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.
