J.I. Case 1170 or J.I. Case 2096 (DT)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the J.I. Case 2096 (DT): hydraulic flow. It is also ahead on drive.
- The J.I. Case 2096 (DT) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 44% (26.5 L/min / 7.0 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 J.I. Case 2096 (DT) has 44% more hydraulic flow (26.5 L/min / 7.0 gpm) than the J.I. Case 1170 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The J.I. Case 1170 is 14% heavier (756 kg / 1,667 lb) than the J.I. Case 2096 (DT) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The J.I. Case 2096 (DT) is available with four-wheel drive; the J.I. Case 1170 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The J.I. Case 2096 (DT) is newer: production began 14 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 top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- 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.
