J.I. Case 2090 or Steyr 8140 (a)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 2090 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 8140 (a) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The J.I. Case 2090 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 94% (38.6 L/min / 10.2 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 105% (2,300 kg / 5,071 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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The J.I. Case 2090 has 94% more hydraulic flow (38.6 L/min / 10.2 gpm) than the Steyr 8140 (a) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The J.I. Case 2090 has 105% more lift (2,300 kg / 5,071 lb) than the Steyr 8140 (a) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The J.I. Case 2090 is 16% heavier (752 kg / 1,658 lb) than the Steyr 8140 (a) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Steyr 8140 (a) is available with four-wheel drive; the J.I. Case 2090 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- 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.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 2090 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 8140 (a) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- 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.
