Case-Steyr M 9078 (a) or New Holland T-4030?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the M 9078 (a) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the T-4030 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Case-Steyr M 9078 (a) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 48% (1,400 kg / 3,086 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Case-Steyr M 9078 (a) suits road haulage better on this data: 24% (1,250 kg / 2,756 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 Case-Steyr M 9078 (a) has 48% more lift (1,400 kg / 3,086 lb) than the New Holland T-4030 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Case-Steyr M 9078 (a) is 22% heavier (675 kg / 1,488 lb) than the New Holland T-4030 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Case-Steyr M 9078 (a) has 24% higher maximum permissible mass (1,250 kg / 2,756 lb) than the New Holland T-4030 (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The New Holland T-4030 is newer: production began 14 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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 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.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the M 9078 (a) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the T-4030 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, a creeper range and PTO independence.
