Case-IH CX 90 or Deutz-Fahr DX 6.05?
Which should you choose?
The figures split: the Case-IH CX 90 is ahead on hydraulic flow; the Deutz-Fahr DX 6.05 is ahead on maximum permissible mass.
- The Case-IH CX 90 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 32% (15.5 L/min / 4.1 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Deutz-Fahr DX 6.05 suits road haulage better on this data: 13% (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 90 has 32% more hydraulic flow (15.5 L/min / 4.1 gpm) than the Deutz-Fahr DX 6.05 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr DX 6.05 is 22% heavier (825 kg / 1,819 lb) than the Case-IH CX 90 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr DX 6.05 has 13% higher maximum permissible mass (800 kg / 1,764 lb) than the Case-IH CX 90 (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH CX 90 is newer: production began 11 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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 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 PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the CX 90: lift through the full range at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Case-IH CX90”); the DX 6.05: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Deutz-Fahr DX 6.05”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- No call on forward gears: sources disagree on the figure for the CX 90.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power and a creeper range.
