Case-IH Magnum 7120 or WHITE 2-180?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Magnum 7120 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 2-180 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Case-IH Magnum 7120 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 30% (24.7 L/min / 6.5 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
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 Magnum 7120 has 30% more hydraulic flow (24.7 L/min / 6.5 gpm) than the WHITE 2-180 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The WHITE 2-180 is 10% heavier (760 kg / 1,676 lb) than the Case-IH Magnum 7120 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH Magnum 7120 offers 540 rpm at the PTO, which the WHITE 2-180 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Case-IH Magnum 7120 is newer: production began 10 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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 difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the Magnum 7120 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 2-180 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the Magnum 7120: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Case-IH 7120”); the 2-180: lift 610 mm behind the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “White 2-180”) — 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, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
