Case-IH JX75 or John Deere 5303?
Which should you choose?
The figures split: the Case-IH JX75 is ahead on drawbar power, three-point lift and forward gears; the John Deere 5303 is ahead on hydraulic flow.
- The Case-IH JX75 suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: 10% (3.6 kW / 4.8 hp) more drawbar power and 18% (408 kg / 899 lb) heavier.
Generated by rule set compare@4 from the figures on the side-by-side table, allowed by route “similar machines”. 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 JX75 has 10% more drawbar power (3.6 kW / 4.8 hp) than the John Deere 5303 (both drawbar power, measured by a laboratory at maximum power).
- The John Deere 5303 has 29% more hydraulic flow (9.2 L/min / 2.4 gpm) than the Case-IH JX75 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH JX75 has 101% more lift (1,790 kg / 3,946 lb) than the John Deere 5303 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH JX75 is 18% heavier (408 kg / 899 lb) than the John Deere 5303 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH JX75 has 33% more forward gears (3 gears) than the John Deere 5303 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- Even on power at the PTO shaft (both power at the PTO, measured by a laboratory at maximum power): the difference is under the 5% threshold, 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 drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- No call on PTO speeds: sources disagree on the PTO speeds of the JX75.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
