Case-IH CX 70 or Fiat 72-94 (DT)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the CX 70: power at the PTO, measured by a laboratory at maximum power (OECD Test 1895); the 72-94 (DT): power at the PTO, claimed (Traktorenlexikon, “Fiatagri 72-94”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- The Case-IH CX 70 suits road haulage better on this data: 13% (700 kg / 1,543 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 70 has 19% more hydraulic flow (8.5 L/min / 2.2 gpm) than the Fiat 72-94 (DT) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Fiat 72-94 (DT) has 76% more lift (1,512 kg / 3,333 lb) than the Case-IH CX 70 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH CX 70 has 13% higher maximum permissible mass (700 kg / 1,543 lb) than the Fiat 72-94 (DT) (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH CX 70 is newer: production began 5 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, 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 figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- 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.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the CX 70: power at the PTO, measured by a laboratory at maximum power (OECD Test 1895); the 72-94 (DT): power at the PTO, claimed (Traktorenlexikon, “Fiatagri 72-94”) — 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.
