J.I. Case 440 or Renault N 70?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the J.I. Case 440: hydraulic flow.
- The J.I. Case 440 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 115% (17.2 L/min / 4.5 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
Generated by rule set compare@4 from the figures on the side-by-side table, allowed by route “similar machines”. 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 may carry more ballast and load? | — | — | No figureNo call on maximum permissible mass: no figure on record for the 440 and the N 70. |

What does this mean in plain words?
- The J.I. Case 440 has 115% more hydraulic flow (17.2 L/min / 4.5 gpm) than the Renault N 70 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Renault N 70 is 20% heavier (280 kg / 617 lb) than the J.I. Case 440 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- 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 rpm).
- Even on drive: all two-wheel drive.
- 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, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
