Case-IH MXM 175 Maxxum or Fendt 819 Vario?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the MXM 175 Maxxum has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 819 Vario has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Fendt 819 Vario suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 84% (88.0 L/min / 23.2 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Fendt 819 Vario suits road haulage better on this data: 17% (2,000 kg / 4,409 lb) more maximum permissible mass and 20% (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) more top speed.
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.
