International Harvester 1055 or SAME Tiger 100 (DT)?

Which should you choose?

The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 1055 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Tiger 100 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.

  • The International Harvester 1055 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 14% (4.9 L/min / 1.3 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 47% (1,385 kg / 3,053 lb) more three-point lift.

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.
