J.I. Case 2090 or SAME Buffalo 130 (DT)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the J.I. Case 2090: hydraulic flow. On features, the SAME Buffalo 130 (DT) is ahead on drive.
- The J.I. Case 2090 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 127% (44.5 L/min / 11.8 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 2090 has 127% more hydraulic flow (44.5 L/min / 11.8 gpm) than the SAME Buffalo 130 (DT) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The J.I. Case 2090 is 26% heavier (1,102 kg / 2,429 lb) than the SAME Buffalo 130 (DT) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The SAME Buffalo 130 (DT) is available with four-wheel drive; the J.I. Case 2090 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- 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 three-point lift (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, 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.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
