CASE-INTERNATIONAL 995 (DT) or Hürlimann H-488 T "Prestige"?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 995 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the H-488 T "Prestige" has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The CASE-INTERNATIONAL 995 (DT) suits road haulage better on this data: 17% (5.0 km/h / 3.1 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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Hürlimann H-488 T "Prestige" is 15% heavier (431 kg / 950 lb) than the CASE-INTERNATIONAL 995 (DT) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann H-488 T "Prestige" has 50% more forward gears (8 gears) than the CASE-INTERNATIONAL 995 (DT) (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The CASE-INTERNATIONAL 995 (DT) has 17% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Hürlimann H-488 T "Prestige" (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- 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.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 995 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the H-488 T "Prestige" has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the 995 (DT): lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Case-IH 995”); the H-488 T "Prestige": lift through the full range at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Hürlimann H 488 T Prestige”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- 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.
