Eicher Mammut 3422 A or International Harvester Hydro 84?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Eicher Mammut 3422 A: hydraulic flow and three-point lift. On features, the International Harvester Hydro 84 is ahead on top speed.
- The Eicher Mammut 3422 A suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 19% (6.3 L/min / 1.7 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 59% (1,182 kg / 2,606 lb) more three-point lift.
- The International Harvester Hydro 84 suits road haulage better on this data: 11% (3.0 km/h / 1.9 mph) more top speed.
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.
