Case-IH CX 90 or ZETOR Proxima 100 (A)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Case-IH CX 90: hydraulic flow and maximum permissible mass.
- The Case-IH CX 90 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 33% (16.0 L/min / 4.2 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Case-IH CX 90 suits road haulage better on this data: 11% (600 kg / 1,323 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 33% more hydraulic flow (16.0 L/min / 4.2 gpm) than the ZETOR Proxima 100 (A) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH CX 90 is 11% heavier (355 kg / 783 lb) than the ZETOR Proxima 100 (A) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH CX 90 has 11% higher maximum permissible mass (600 kg / 1,323 lb) than the ZETOR Proxima 100 (A) (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The ZETOR Proxima 100 (A) is newer: production began 13 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 drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- 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, three-point lift, a creeper range and PTO independence.
