J.I. Case 941 GP or SAME 480 (DT)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 941 GP has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 480 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The J.I. Case 941 GP suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 410% (47.2 L/min / 12.5 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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The J.I. Case 941 GP has 410% more hydraulic flow (47.2 L/min / 12.5 gpm) than the SAME 480 (DT) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The J.I. Case 941 GP is 48% heavier (1,294 kg / 2,853 lb) than the SAME 480 (DT) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The SAME 480 (DT) is available with four-wheel drive; the J.I. Case 941 GP is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 25% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 941 GP has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 480 (DT) 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, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range, PTO speeds and PTO independence.
