Case-IH CX 60 or VALMET 465 (465-4)?
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 465 (465-4): power at the PTO, claimed (Traktorenlexikon, “Valmet 465”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- The VALMET 465 (465-4) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 28% (560 kg / 1,235 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 VALMET 465 (465-4) has 28% more lift (560 kg / 1,235 lb) than the Case-IH CX 60 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH CX 60 is 11% heavier (320 kg / 705 lb) than the VALMET 465 (465-4) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH CX 60 has 33% more forward gears (4 gears) than the VALMET 465 (465-4) (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH CX 60 offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the VALMET 465 (465-4) does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Case-IH CX 60 is newer: production began 5 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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 top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- 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 465 (465-4): power at the PTO, claimed (Traktorenlexikon, “Valmet 465”) — 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, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
