Ford 1310 (A) or International Harvester 184?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 1310 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 184 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Ford 1310 (A) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 218% (16.6 L/min / 4.4 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Ford 1310 (A) suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: 27% (201 kg / 443 lb) heavier and four-wheel drive.
- The Ford 1310 (A) suits road haulage better on this data: 67% (8.0 km/h / 5.0 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.
