International Harvester 756 or Massey Ferguson MF 194 (A)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the International Harvester 756: hydraulic flow. It is also ahead on top speed. On features, the Massey Ferguson 194 (A) is ahead on drive.
- The International Harvester 756 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 70% (18.8 L/min / 5.0 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The International Harvester 756 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.

| Which is newer, and what about parts? | 1967–1971 | 1980–1983 | Ahead (a fact, not an advantage)The Massey Ferguson 194 (A) is newer: production began 13 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts. |
What does this mean in plain words?
- The International Harvester 756 has 70% more hydraulic flow (18.8 L/min / 5.0 gpm) than the Massey Ferguson 194 (A) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The International Harvester 756 is 39% heavier (1,058 kg / 2,332 lb) than the Massey Ferguson 194 (A) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The International Harvester 756 has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Massey Ferguson 194 (A) (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Massey Ferguson 194 (A) is available with four-wheel drive; the International Harvester 756 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The Massey Ferguson 194 (A) is newer: production began 13 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 speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
