CaseIH 485 vs CaseIH DX45
Verdict: CaseIH 485 vs CaseIH DX45
The CaseIH 485 and the CaseIH DX45 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. CaseIH DX45 leads on rated power with 45 hp against 43 hp. CaseIH 485 is the lighter machine (2,358 kg vs 3,417 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
