Case-IH 9170 or New Holland TJ-330?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 9170 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the TJ-330 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
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 New Holland TJ-330 has 31% more hydraulic flow (36.4 L/min / 9.6 gpm) than the Case-IH 9170 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH 9170 has 64% more lift (4,567 kg / 10,069 lb) than the New Holland TJ-330 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The New Holland TJ-330 has 33% more forward gears (4 gears) than the Case-IH 9170 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The New Holland TJ-330 is newer: production began 14 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 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 (1000 rpm).
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 9170 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the TJ-330 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, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
