Case-IH 7230 PRO/8930 or J.I. Case 2594 (DT)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, no comparable figure differs by more than its threshold: on this data the machines are level. On features, the Case-IH 7230 PRO/8930 is ahead on PTO speeds and drive.
- The Case-IH 7230 PRO/8930 suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 540 rpm.
- The Case-IH 7230 PRO/8930 suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: four-wheel drive.
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 7230 PRO/8930 offers 540 rpm at the PTO, which the J.I. Case 2594 (DT) does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Case-IH 7230 PRO/8930 is available with four-wheel drive; the J.I. Case 2594 (DT) is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The Case-IH 7230 PRO/8930 is newer: production began 13 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 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 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 figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
