Case-IH MXU 135 Maxxum or New Holland T 6050 RC/PC?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the New Holland T 6050 RC/PC: hydraulic flow, three-point lift and maximum permissible mass.
- The New Holland T 6050 RC/PC suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 15% (13.4 L/min / 3.5 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 38% (2,261 kg / 4,985 lb) more three-point lift.
- The New Holland T 6050 RC/PC suits road haulage better on this data: 40% (3,000 kg / 6,614 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.
