Case-IH 845 XL (A) or Massey Ferguson MF 3060 (A)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Massey Ferguson MF 3060 (A): hydraulic flow. It is also ahead on forward gears.
- The Massey Ferguson MF 3060 (A) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 58% (18.9 L/min / 5.0 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 Massey Ferguson MF 3060 (A) has 58% more hydraulic flow (18.9 L/min / 5.0 gpm) than the Case-IH 845 XL (A) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Massey Ferguson MF 3060 (A) has 100% more forward gears (16 gears) than the Case-IH 845 XL (A) (both forward gears, 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 three-point lift (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, 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 top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
