Case-IH JX80 or Case-IH JX90?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Case-IH JX90: power at the PTO shaft and maximum permissible mass.
- The Case-IH JX90 suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: 6% (3.2 kW / 4.3 hp) more power at the PTO shaft.
- The Case-IH JX90 suits road haulage better on this data: 15% (800 kg / 1,764 lb) more maximum permissible mass.
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 JX90 has 6% more power at the PTO (3.2 kW / 4.3 hp) than the Case-IH JX80 (both power at the PTO, measured by a laboratory at maximum power).
- The Case-IH JX90 has 15% higher maximum permissible mass (800 kg / 1,764 lb) than the Case-IH JX80 (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- Even on drawbar power (both drawbar power, measured by a laboratory at maximum power): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on hydraulic flow (both pump flow, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on three-point lift (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- 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 difference is under the 25% 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 PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- 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 figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, a creeper range and PTO independence.
