Case-IH Puma 210 or Massey Ferguson MF 8260 A?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Puma 210 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the MF 8260 A has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
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 Puma 210 is newer: production began 8 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on three-point lift (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- 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 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 210 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the MF 8260 A has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- No call on forward gears: sources disagree on the figure for the Puma 210.
- No call on PTO speeds: sources disagree on the PTO speeds of the Puma 210.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
