Case-IH Magnum 7210 or SOMECA 1580 (TD)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Magnum 7210 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 1580 (TD) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Case-IH Magnum 7210 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 97% (54.2 L/min / 14.3 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 46% (2,266 kg / 4,996 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Case-IH Magnum 7210 suits road haulage better on this data: 13% (1,300 kg / 2,866 lb) more maximum permissible mass.
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.
