Case-IH 9280 or Case-IH STX 375?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Case-IH STX 375: hydraulic flow.
- The Case-IH STX 375 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 35% (40.1 L/min / 10.6 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 STX 375 has 35% more hydraulic flow (40.1 L/min / 10.6 gpm) than the Case-IH 9280 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH STX 375 is newer: production began 10 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 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 drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the 9280: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Case-IH 9280”); the STX 375: lift through the full range 610 mm behind the ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Case-IH STX 375”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- No call on forward gears: sources disagree on the figure for the STX 375.
- No call on PTO speeds: sources disagree on the PTO speeds of the STX 375.
- 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.
