J.I. Case 2594 (DT) or New Holland 8770 A?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 2594 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 8770 A has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The New Holland 8770A suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 23% (1,380 kg / 3,042 lb) more three-point lift.
- The New Holland 8770A suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: 18% (1,318 kg / 2,906 lb) heavier and four-wheel drive.
- The New Holland 8770A suits road haulage better on this data: 33% (10.0 km/h / 6.2 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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The New Holland 8770A has 23% more lift (1,380 kg / 3,042 lb) than the J.I. Case 2594 (DT) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The New Holland 8770A is 18% heavier (1,318 kg / 2,906 lb) than the J.I. Case 2594 (DT) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The New Holland 8770A has 33% more top speed (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) than the J.I. Case 2594 (DT) (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The New Holland 8770A is available with four-wheel drive; the J.I. Case 2594 (DT) is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The New Holland 8770A is newer: production began 9 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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 (1000 rpm).
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 2594 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 8770 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, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
