Fendt Favorit 615 LS or J.I. Case 2290?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Favorit 615 LS has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 2290 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The J.I. Case 2290 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 82% (35.8 L/min / 9.5 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Fendt Favorit 615 LS suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: four-wheel drive.
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 J.I. Case 2290 has 82% more hydraulic flow (35.8 L/min / 9.5 gpm) than the Fendt Favorit 615 LS (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Favorit 615 LS has 33% more forward gears (4 gears) than the J.I. Case 2290 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Favorit 615 LS is available with four-wheel drive; the J.I. Case 2290 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, 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).
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the Favorit 615 LS has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 2290 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the Favorit 615 LS: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Fendt Favorit 615 LS”); the 2290: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Case 2290”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
