Case-IH 9350 or Case-IH STX 325?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 9350 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the STX 325 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Case-IH STX 325 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 50% (51.8 L/min / 13.7 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 22% (1,581 kg / 3,486 lb) more three-point lift.
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 325 has 50% more hydraulic flow (51.8 L/min / 13.7 gpm) than the Case-IH 9350 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH STX 325 has 22% more lift (1,581 kg / 3,486 lb) than the Case-IH 9350 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH STX 325 is 11% heavier (1,457 kg / 3,212 lb) than the Case-IH 9350 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH STX 325 is newer: production began 5 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- 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 9350 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the STX 325 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.
