Case-Steyr M 968 (a) or Massey Ferguson MF 375 (A)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the M 968 (a) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the MF 375 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Massey Ferguson MF 375 (A) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 53% (21.9 L/min / 5.8 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 17% (450 kg / 992 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Massey Ferguson MF 375 (A) suits road haulage better on this data: 48% (2,000 kg / 4,409 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.
