Case-IH Puma 165 or Lamborghini 135?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Case-IH Puma 165: hydraulic flow, three-point lift and maximum permissible mass.
- The Case-IH Puma 165 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 36% (39.1 L/min / 10.3 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 22% (1,860 kg / 4,101 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Case-IH Puma 165 suits road haulage better on this data: 14% (1,500 kg / 3,307 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.
