J.I. Case 770 or Massey Ferguson MF 65 Mark-II?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 770 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the MF 65 Mark-II has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The J.I. Case 770 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 301% (45.5 L/min / 12.0 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The J.I. Case 770 suits road haulage better on this data: 25% (5.0 km/h / 3.1 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.
