IMT 5130/5136 or International Harvester 1246?
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 IMT 5130/5136 is ahead on PTO speeds.
- The IMT 5130/5136 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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The IMT 5130/5136 is 19% heavier (865 kg / 1,907 lb) than the International Harvester 1246 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The IMT 5130/5136 offers 540 rpm at the PTO, which the International Harvester 1246 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The IMT 5130/5136 is newer: production began 10 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 hydraulic flow (both pump flow, 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 PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- 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, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
