Case-Steyr M 9083 a or SAME Dorado 85 (DT)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the M 9083 a has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Dorado 85 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Case-Steyr M 9083 a suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 19% (700 kg / 1,543 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Case-Steyr M 9083 a suits road haulage better on this data: 30% (1,500 kg / 3,307 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 9083 a has 19% more lift (700 kg / 1,543 lb) than the SAME Dorado 85 (DT) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Case-Steyr M 9083 a is 45% heavier (1,200 kg / 2,646 lb) than the SAME Dorado 85 (DT) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Case-Steyr M 9083 a has 30% higher maximum permissible mass (1,500 kg / 3,307 lb) than the SAME Dorado 85 (DT) (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Case-Steyr M 9083 a offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the SAME Dorado 85 (DT) does not (as stated by the sources).
- The SAME Dorado 85 (DT) is newer: production began 6 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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 drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the M 9083 a has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Dorado 85 (DT) 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, hydraulic flow, a creeper range and PTO independence.
