CaseIH 4894 vs CaseIH MX305 Magnum

Verdict: CaseIH 4894 vs CaseIH MX305 Magnum

The CaseIH 4894 and the CaseIH MX305 Magnum are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. CaseIH MX305 Magnum leads on rated power with 257 hp against 253 hp. CaseIH MX305 Magnum is the lighter machine (9,790 kg vs 11,680 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
