J.I. Case 4694 or John Deere 8310?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 4694 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 8310 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The John Deere 8310 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 105% (61.7 L/min / 16.3 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.

- The John Deere 8310 has 33% more forward gears (4 gears) than the J.I. Case 4694 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The John Deere 8310 offers 540 rpm at the PTO, which the J.I. Case 4694 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The John Deere 8310 is newer: production began 15 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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 independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 4694 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 8310 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the 4694: lift through the full range 610 mm behind the ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Case 4694”); the 8310: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “John Deere 8310”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- 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.
