CASE-INTERNATIONAL 895 (DT) or SOMECA 880 (TD)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the CASE-INTERNATIONAL 895 (DT): three-point lift. It is also ahead on top speed.
- The CASE-INTERNATIONAL 895 (DT) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 16% (337 kg / 743 lb) more three-point lift.
- The CASE-INTERNATIONAL 895 (DT) suits road haulage better on this data: 40% (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) more top speed.
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.

| Which is newer, and what about parts? | 1990–1993 | 1975–1980 | Ahead (a fact, not an advantage)The CASE-INTERNATIONAL 895 (DT) is newer: production began 15 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts. |
What does this mean in plain words?
- The CASE-INTERNATIONAL 895 (DT) has 16% more lift (337 kg / 743 lb) than the SOMECA 880 (TD) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The CASE-INTERNATIONAL 895 (DT) has 40% more top speed (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) than the SOMECA 880 (TD) (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The CASE-INTERNATIONAL 895 (DT) is newer: production began 15 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 weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, 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 PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- 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.
