Case-IH 7240 PRO/8940 or Steyr-Case 9250 a?
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 Steyr-Case 9250 a is ahead on PTO speeds.
- The Steyr-Case 9250 a suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 540 rpm.
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 Steyr-Case 9250 a offers 540 rpm at the PTO, which the Case-IH 7240 PRO/8940 does not (as stated by the sources).
- 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 hydraulic flow (both pump flow, 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 maximum permissible mass (both maximum permissible mass, 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 difference is under the 25% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on a creeper range: every machine offers one.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the 7240 PRO/8940: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Case-IH 7240 PRO/8940”); the 9250 a: lift through the full range at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Steyr 9250 a”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft and drawbar power.
