Eicher 3133 or International Harvester 1456?
Which should you choose?
On performance, no comparable figure differs by more than its threshold: on this data the machines are level. On features, the Eicher 3133 is ahead on PTO speeds.
- The Eicher 3133 suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 540 rpm.
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.

| Which has the wider choice of gears? | 12Traktorenlexikon, “Eicher 3133” | 8 to 16Traktorenlexikon, “IHC 1456” | EvenEven on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap. |
| Which offers a creeper range? | YesTraktorenlexikon, “Eicher 3133” | — | No figureNo call on a creeper range: not stated for the 1456. |
| Which is faster on the road? | 31.5 km/h (19.6 mph)Traktorenlexikon, “Eicher 3133” | 30 km/h (18.6 mph)Traktorenlexikon, “IHC 1456” | EvenEven on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call. |
| Which offers more PTO speeds? | 540/1000 rpmTraktorenlexikon, “Eicher 3133” | 1000 rpmTraktorenlexikon, “IHC 1456” | AheadThe Eicher 3133 offers 540 rpm at the PTO, which the International Harvester 1456 does not (as stated by the sources). |
| Which PTO runs independently of the ground drive? | — | — | No figureNo call on PTO independence: not stated for the 3133 and the 1456. |
| Which drives on both axles? | 4WDTraktorenlexikon, “Eicher 3133” | Two-wheel or four-wheel driveTraktorenlexikon, “IHC 1456” | EvenEven on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive. |
| Which is newer, and what about parts? | 1977–1982 | 1969–1971 | Ahead (a fact, not an advantage)The Eicher 3133 is newer: production began 8 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts. |
What does this mean in plain words?
- The Eicher 3133 offers 540 rpm at the PTO, which the International Harvester 1456 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Eicher 3133 is newer: production began 8 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.
- No call on three-point lift: the sources do not state where the lift was measured, so the difference is not a reliable call.
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, 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 difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
