J.I. Case 4490 or SAME Titan 190?
Which should you choose?
The figures split: the J.I. Case 4490 is ahead on hydraulic flow; the SAME Titan 190 is ahead on three-point lift, forward gears and PTO speeds.
- The SAME Titan 190 suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 540 rpm.
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 4490 has 47% more hydraulic flow (29.0 L/min / 7.7 gpm) than the SAME Titan 190 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The SAME Titan 190 has 72% more lift (3,610 kg / 7,959 lb) than the J.I. Case 4490 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
