International Harvester 624 (A) or ZETOR 7011/7045?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the International Harvester 624 (A): hydraulic flow. On features, the ZETOR 7011/7045 is ahead on PTO speeds.
- The ZETOR 7011/7045 suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The International Harvester 624 (A) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 24% (5.4 L/min / 1.4 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 International Harvester 624 (A) has 24% more hydraulic flow (5.4 L/min / 1.4 gpm) than the ZETOR 7011/7045 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The ZETOR 7011/7045 is 16% heavier (401 kg / 884 lb) than the International Harvester 624 (A) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The ZETOR 7011/7045 offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the International Harvester 624 (A) does not (as stated by the sources).
- The ZETOR 7011/7045 is newer: production began 15 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 forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.

- 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.
