Case-Steyr M 9078 (a) or Leyland 282?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Case-Steyr M 9078 (a): hydraulic flow and three-point lift. It is also ahead on forward gears, PTO speeds and drive.
- The Case-Steyr M 9078 (a) suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The Case-Steyr M 9078 (a) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 59% (17.9 L/min / 4.7 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 82% (1,942 kg / 4,281 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Case-Steyr M 9078 (a) suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: 22% (668 kg / 1,473 lb) heavier and four-wheel drive.
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-Steyr M 9078 (a) has 59% more hydraulic flow (17.9 L/min / 4.7 gpm) than the Leyland 282 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).

- The Case-Steyr M 9078 (a) has 78% more forward gears (7 gears) than the Leyland 282 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Case-Steyr M 9078 (a) offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Leyland 282 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Case-Steyr M 9078 (a) is available with four-wheel drive; the Leyland 282 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The Case-Steyr M 9078 (a) 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 top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
