Case-IH Magnum 7220 or WHITE 185?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Magnum 7220 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 185 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Case-IH Magnum 7220 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 38% (31.8 L/min / 8.4 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 7220 has 38% more hydraulic flow (31.8 L/min / 8.4 gpm) than the WHITE 185 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH Magnum 7220 is 40% heavier (2,440 kg / 5,379 lb) than the WHITE 185 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH Magnum 7220 has 33% more forward gears (6 gears) than the WHITE 185 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH Magnum 7220 offers 540 rpm at the PTO, which the WHITE 185 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Case-IH Magnum 7220 is newer: production began 7 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the Magnum 7220 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 185 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
