Case-IH Magnum 7220 PRO/8920 or Ford 8770?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Magnum 7220 PRO/8920 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 8770 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Ford 8770 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 14% (15.6 L/min / 4.1 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 29% (1,698 kg / 3,743 lb) more three-point lift.
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.
