International Harvester Farmall 706 or WHITE 1470?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the International Harvester Farmall 706: hydraulic flow. It is also ahead on top speed and PTO speeds. On features, the WHITE 1470 is ahead on drive.
- The International Harvester Farmall 706 suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The International Harvester Farmall 706 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 65% (18.0 L/min / 4.8 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The International Harvester Farmall 706 suits road haulage better on this data: 20% (5.0 km/h / 3.1 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.
