Case-IH 7250 Magnum or J.I. Case 4690?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Case-IH 7250 Magnum: hydraulic flow. It is also ahead on forward gears.
- The Case-IH 7250 Magnum suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 86% (50.7 L/min / 13.4 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
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 7250 Magnum has 86% more hydraulic flow (50.7 L/min / 13.4 gpm) than the J.I. Case 4690 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The J.I. Case 4690 is 23% heavier (1,892 kg / 4,171 lb) than the Case-IH 7250 Magnum (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH 7250 Magnum has 100% more forward gears (12 gears) than the J.I. Case 4690 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH 7250 Magnum is newer: production began 15 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 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 (1000 rpm).
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the 7250 Magnum: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Case-IH 7250”); the 4690: lift through the full range 610 mm behind the ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Case 4690”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- 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.
