Case-IH CVX 170 or Steyr-Case 9200 a?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Case-IH CVX 170: three-point lift.
- The Case-IH CVX 170 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 76% (3,644 kg / 8,034 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 CVX 170 has 76% more lift (3,644 kg / 8,034 lb) than the Steyr-Case 9200 a (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Steyr-Case 9200 a is 12% heavier (846 kg / 1,865 lb) than the Case-IH CVX 170 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- 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.
- Transmissions differ in kind: the Case-IH CVX 170 is stepless (CVT) and the Steyr-Case 9200 a has 24 forward gears — not called.
- 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 speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- 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.
- 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.
