Case-IH 845 XL (A) or Case-IH C 70?
Which should you choose?
The figures split: the Case-IH C 70 is ahead on hydraulic flow; the Case-IH 845 XL (A) is ahead on three-point lift and maximum permissible mass.
- The Case-IH 845 XL (A) suits road haulage better on this data: 29% (1,300 kg / 2,866 lb) more maximum permissible mass.
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 C 70 has 33% more hydraulic flow (10.9 L/min / 2.9 gpm) than the Case-IH 845 XL (A) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH 845 XL (A) has 34% more lift (800 kg / 1,764 lb) than the Case-IH C 70 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH 845 XL (A) is 20% heavier (600 kg / 1,323 lb) than the Case-IH C 70 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH 845 XL (A) has 29% higher maximum permissible mass (1,300 kg / 2,866 lb) than the Case-IH C 70 (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- 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 forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 25% threshold, 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 drive: every machine is available with four-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.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, a creeper range and PTO independence.
