Case-IH MXU 110 or Fendt 313 Vario?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Fendt 313 Vario: maximum permissible mass.
- The Fendt 313 Vario suits road haulage better on this data: 13% (1,000 kg / 2,205 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 MXU 110 is 17% heavier (738 kg / 1,627 lb) than the Fendt 313 Vario (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt 313 Vario has 13% higher maximum permissible mass (1,000 kg / 2,205 lb) than the Case-IH MXU 110 (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt 313 Vario is newer: production began 8 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.
- Transmissions differ in kind: the Case-IH MXU 110 has 16 to 24 forward gears and the Fendt 313 Vario is stepless (CVT) — not called.
- 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, PTO speeds and PTO independence.
