Case-IH JX1080U or Renault Ceres 335?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Case-IH JX1080U: hydraulic flow and three-point lift.
- The Case-IH JX1080U suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 22% (11.1 L/min / 2.9 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 11% (440 kg / 970 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.
