New Holland 9684 (Traktorenlexikon) or New Holland T 9030?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 9684 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the T 9030 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The New Holland 9684 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 21% (31.8 L/min / 8.4 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 New Holland 9684 has 21% more hydraulic flow (31.8 L/min / 8.4 gpm) than the New Holland T 9030 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The New Holland T 9030 is 36% heavier (4,983 kg / 10,986 lb) than the New Holland 9684 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The New Holland T 9030 has 33% more forward gears (4 gears) than the New Holland 9684 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The New Holland T 9030 is newer: production began 7 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 difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (1000 rpm).
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 9684 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the T 9030 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 9684: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “New Holland 9684”); the T 9030: lift through the full range 610 mm behind the ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “New Holland T9030”) — 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, a creeper range and PTO independence.
