John Deere 8130 or Steyr-Case 9250 a?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 8130: power at the PTO, measured by a laboratory at maximum power (OECD Test 2376); the 9250 a: power at the PTO, claimed (Traktorenlexikon, “Steyr 9250 a”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- The John Deere 8130 suits road haulage better on this data: 21% (2,425 kg / 5,346 lb) more maximum permissible mass.
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 John Deere 8130 is 17% heavier (1,428 kg / 3,148 lb) than the Steyr-Case 9250 a (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The John Deere 8130 has 21% higher maximum permissible mass (2,425 kg / 5,346 lb) than the Steyr-Case 9250 a (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Steyr-Case 9250 a has 50% more forward gears (8 gears) than the John Deere 8130 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The John Deere 8130 is newer: production began 9 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 speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 8130: power at the PTO, measured by a laboratory at maximum power (OECD Test 2376); the 9250 a: power at the PTO, claimed (Traktorenlexikon, “Steyr 9250 a”) — 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, hydraulic flow, three-point lift, a creeper range and PTO independence.
