Case-IH MX 90 C or Deutz-Fahr AgroPrima 4.51?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Case-IH MX 90 C: hydraulic flow and maximum permissible mass. On features, the Deutz-Fahr AgroPrima 4.51 is ahead on PTO speeds.
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroPrima 4.51 suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 750 rpm.
- The Case-IH MX 90 C suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 92% (42.4 L/min / 11.2 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Case-IH MX 90 C suits road haulage better on this data: 18% (1,215 kg / 2,679 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 MX 90 C has 92% more hydraulic flow (42.4 L/min / 11.2 gpm) than the Deutz-Fahr AgroPrima 4.51 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH MX 90 C is 43% heavier (1,520 kg / 3,351 lb) than the Deutz-Fahr AgroPrima 4.51 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH MX 90 C has 18% higher maximum permissible mass (1,215 kg / 2,679 lb) than the Deutz-Fahr AgroPrima 4.51 (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroPrima 4.51 offers 750 rpm at the PTO, which the Case-IH MX 90 C does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Case-IH MX 90 C is newer: production began 9 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 forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.

- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- 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, three-point lift and a creeper range.
