Case-IH JX75 or SAME Argon 70?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the JX75: power at the PTO, measured by a laboratory at maximum power (OECD Test 2628); the Argon 70: power at the PTO, claimed (Traktorenlexikon, “SAME Argon 70”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
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 SAME Argon 70 has 48% more hydraulic flow (15.2 L/min / 4.0 gpm) than the Case-IH JX75 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH JX75 has 23% more lift (665 kg / 1,466 lb) than the SAME Argon 70 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The SAME Argon 70 has 33% more forward gears (4 gears) than the Case-IH JX75 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH JX75 is newer: production began 9 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 difference is under the 10% 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.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the JX75: power at the PTO, measured by a laboratory at maximum power (OECD Test 2628); the Argon 70: power at the PTO, claimed (Traktorenlexikon, “SAME Argon 70”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- 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, drawbar power, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
