Case-IH 7250 PRO/8950 or Massey Ferguson MF 8180 A?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 7250 PRO/8950 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the MF 8180 A has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Massey Ferguson 8180A suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 39% (2,850 kg / 6,283 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Massey Ferguson 8180A suits road haulage better on this data: 21% (2,425 kg / 5,346 lb) more maximum permissible mass.
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.
