Ford 2110 (A) or Steyr 942 (a)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Ford 2110 (A): hydraulic flow. On features, the Steyr 942 (a) is ahead on forward gears and PTO speeds.
- The Steyr 942 (a) suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The Ford 2110 (A) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 11% (3.1 L/min / 0.8 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
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 Ford 2110 (A) has 11% more hydraulic flow (3.1 L/min / 0.8 gpm) than the Steyr 942 (a) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Steyr 942 (a) is 42% heavier (705 kg / 1,554 lb) than the Ford 2110 (A) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Steyr 942 (a) has 33% more forward gears (4 gears) than the Ford 2110 (A) (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Steyr 942 (a) offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Ford 2110 (A) does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Steyr 942 (a) is newer: production began 9 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.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the 2110 (A): lift 610 mm behind the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Ford 2110”); the 942 (a): lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Steyr 942”) — 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.
