Case-IH Puma 125 or John Deere 6620?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Puma 125 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 6620 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The John Deere 6620 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 59% (2,818 kg / 6,213 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Case-IH Puma 125 suits road haulage better on this data: 11% (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 John Deere 6620 has 59% more lift (2,818 kg / 6,213 lb) than the Case-IH Puma 125 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH Puma 125 has 11% higher maximum permissible mass (1,000 kg / 2,205 lb) than the John Deere 6620 (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The John Deere 6620 has 26% more forward gears (5 gears) than the Case-IH Puma 125 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH Puma 125 is newer: production began 5 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- 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 PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the Puma 125 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 6620 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow and a creeper range.
