Case-IH STX 440 or New Holland T 9040?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the New Holland T 9040: maximum permissible mass.
- The New Holland T 9040 suits road haulage better on this data: 30% (5,405 kg / 11,916 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 New Holland T 9040 has 30% higher maximum permissible mass (5,405 kg / 11,916 lb) than the Case-IH STX 440 (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The New Holland T 9040 is newer: production began 7 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.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the STX 440: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Case-IH STX 440”); the T 9040: lift through the full range 610 mm behind the ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “New Holland T9040”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- No call on forward gears: sources disagree on the figure for the STX 440.
- No call on PTO speeds: sources disagree on the PTO speeds of the STX 440.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, a creeper range and PTO independence.
