Case-IH MXU 115 or John Deere 7410?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the John Deere 7410: drawbar power and hydraulic flow.
- The John Deere 7410 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 21% (17.8 L/min / 4.7 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The John Deere 7410 suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: 13% (8.5 kW / 11.4 hp) more drawbar power.
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 John Deere 7410 has 13% more drawbar power (8.5 kW / 11.4 hp) than the Case-IH MXU 115 (both drawbar power, measured by a laboratory at maximum power).
- The John Deere 7410 has 21% more hydraulic flow (17.8 L/min / 4.7 gpm) than the Case-IH MXU 115 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH MXU 115 is newer: production began 7 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, measured by a laboratory at maximum power): the difference is under the 5% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- No call on forward gears: sources disagree on the figure for the MXU 115 and the 7410.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
