Case-IH STX 325 or New Holland 9482 (Traktorenlexikon)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Case-IH STX 325: maximum permissible mass. It is also ahead on forward gears.
- The Case-IH STX 325 suits road haulage better on this data: 15% (2,278 kg / 5,022 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 Case-IH STX 325 has 15% higher maximum permissible mass (2,278 kg / 5,022 lb) than the New Holland 9482 (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH STX 325 has 42% more forward gears (5 gears) than the New Holland 9482 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH STX 325 is newer: production began 5 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, claimed): the difference is under the 10% threshold for claimed figures, too small to call.
- Even on hydraulic flow (both pump flow, 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.
