Case-IH JX1090U or Ford 7740 (A)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the JX1090U: power at the PTO, measured by a laboratory at maximum power (OECD Test 2279); the 7740 (A): power at the PTO, claimed (Traktorenlexikon, “Ford 7740”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- The Case-IH JX1090U suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 18% (785 kg / 1,731 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 Case-IH JX1090U has 18% more lift (785 kg / 1,731 lb) than the Ford 7740 (A) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH JX1090U is newer: production began 13 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 figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- 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 JX1090U: power at the PTO, measured by a laboratory at maximum power (OECD Test 2279); the 7740 (A): power at the PTO, claimed (Traktorenlexikon, “Ford 7740”) — 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, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
