Case-IH Magnum 7220 or Ford TW-30 (A)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Case-IH Magnum 7220: maximum permissible mass. It is also ahead on forward gears and PTO speeds.
- The Case-IH Magnum 7220 suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 540 rpm.
- The Case-IH Magnum 7220 suits road haulage better on this data: 29% (2,585 kg / 5,699 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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Case-IH Magnum 7220 is 29% heavier (1,926 kg / 4,246 lb) than the Ford TW-30 (A) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH Magnum 7220 has 29% higher maximum permissible mass (2,585 kg / 5,699 lb) than the Ford TW-30 (A) (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH Magnum 7220 has 71% more forward gears (10 gears) than the Ford TW-30 (A) (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH Magnum 7220 offers 540 rpm at the PTO, which the Ford TW-30 (A) does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Case-IH Magnum 7220 is newer: production began 15 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on power at the PTO shaft (both power at the PTO, claimed): the difference is under the 10% threshold for claimed figures, 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.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, three-point lift, a creeper range and PTO independence.
