CaseIH 1494 vs CaseIH 1594

Verdict: CaseIH 1494 vs CaseIH 1594

The CaseIH 1494 and the CaseIH 1594 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. CaseIH 1594 leads on rated power with 86 hp against 85 hp. CaseIH 1594 is the lighter machine (4,213 kg vs 7,380 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. CaseIH 1594 holds more fuel (136.3 L vs 90.8 L) for longer stints between fills. CaseIH 1594 is the newer design (1985 vs 1983).
