Verdict: CaseIH 3294 vs CaseIH Puma 180
The CaseIH 3294 and the CaseIH Puma 180 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. CaseIH 3294 leads on rated power with 163 hp against 159 hp. CaseIH 3294 is the lighter machine (7,711 kg vs 15,708 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
