Case-IH CX 60 or New Holland TL 70 (A)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the CX 60: power at the PTO, measured by a laboratory at maximum power (OECD Test 1894); the TL 70 (A): power at the PTO, claimed (Traktorenlexikon, “New Holland TL70”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- The Case-IH CX 60 suits road haulage better on this data: 15% (800 kg / 1,764 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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Case-IH CX 60 has 19% more hydraulic flow (8.5 L/min / 2.2 gpm) than the New Holland TL 70 (A) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The New Holland TL 70 (A) has 41% more lift (820 kg / 1,808 lb) than the Case-IH CX 60 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The New Holland TL 70 (A) is 32% heavier (1,010 kg / 2,227 lb) than the Case-IH CX 60 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH CX 60 has 15% higher maximum permissible mass (800 kg / 1,764 lb) than the New Holland TL 70 (A) (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- 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 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.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the CX 60: power at the PTO, measured by a laboratory at maximum power (OECD Test 1894); the TL 70 (A): power at the PTO, claimed (Traktorenlexikon, “New Holland TL70”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, a creeper range and PTO independence.
