CASE-INTERNATIONAL 895 (DT) or Massey Ferguson MF 4245 (A)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Massey Ferguson MF 4245 (A): three-point lift.
- The Massey Ferguson MF 4245 (A) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 38% (933 kg / 2,057 lb) more three-point lift.
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 Massey Ferguson MF 4245 (A) has 38% more lift (933 kg / 2,057 lb) than the CASE-INTERNATIONAL 895 (DT) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Massey Ferguson MF 4245 (A) is 15% heavier (477 kg / 1,052 lb) than the CASE-INTERNATIONAL 895 (DT) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Massey Ferguson MF 4245 (A) 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 forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
