A highlighted cell wins its row on the rule named above the table: more power, lift, capacity or flow, or a lower price. A lift row is left unwon whenever the two makers measured in different places, or where either of them did not say — a figure quoted at the pivot pin and one quoted 500 mm ahead of it describe the same loader and differ by roughly a third, so ranking them against each other would invent a result. Prices are typical list and move with dealer packages.
From owner discussion and long-term write-ups
What owners of each one say
Case IH Farmall 100C
What they like
- 85 PTO hp from 101 gross is an 84 percent driveline figure, enough for a mid-size round baler or a 10-foot mower conditioner
- 12 x 12 electronic power shuttle standard, with a 20 x 20 creeper build optional - a more conventional choice than the 90C's Hi-Lo-only transmission
- 21.7 gpm of implement flow, 4.8 gpm more than the 100A of the same power
- 4,123 lb of hitch lift standard, rising to 6,938 lb with the optional auxiliary ram
- Class 1.5 heavy-duty MFD front axle with limited slip, and up to three rear remotes with a diverter
- 540/540E/1000 PTO speeds and 34.3 gal of fuel as standard
What they complain about
- Case IH publishes no list price and its Build & Price tool hands you to a dealer rather than a figure, so this page cannot tell you what it costs - every public number found either bundles the loader or is a financing offer
- Stage V brings SCR and a 3.4 gal DEF tank to fill alongside the diesel
- 10,240 lb bare, 1,422 lb heavier than the equally powerful Farmall 100A, which is weight you pay for in fuel and ground pressure
- Case IH's own model page says 101 hp where the previous-generation utility C brochure rated this model 99 - the figure used here is the current one
- Cab-only, with no ROPS build to bring the price down
- The L635's 4,625 lb has no published measuring point, and no warranty term is stated anywhere in the maker's material
Case IH Farmall 25SC
What they like
- 540 rear PTO plus a 2,500 rpm mid-PTO as standard equipment, so a belly mower and a rear implement are both live without an add-on kit
- Independent electrohydraulic MFD engagement rather than a mechanical lever, which is unusual kit at this size
- 728 lb of Category I hitch lift measured 24 in. behind the pin, which is solid for a 1,444 lb tractor
- Inboard-planetary-free simplicity: an indirect-injection 1.26 L three with no DEF tank and no urea to manage
- At 1,444 lb bare it is light enough to cross a lawn without rutting it, and short enough at 97 in. to turn inside a suburban garden
What they complain about
- Case IH publishes no list price and its Build & Price tool hands you to a dealer rather than a figure, so this page cannot tell you what it costs - every public number found either bundles the loader or is a financing offer
- 4.6 gpm of implement flow is the lowest in this catalog's subcompact class, so loader and backhoe cycles are slow
- The L320S loader lifts 693 lb to a 72 in. maximum height, which is below what a Kubota BX or a Deere 1025R loader will put over a truck side
- Case IH does not state where the 693 lb was measured, so it cannot be set beside the pivot-pin ratings other makers publish
- Zero rear remotes in the base build; the first is an option
- No warranty term is printed on the model page or the spec sheet - the 6-year extended cover Case IH advertises is written for the compact A and C series, not the subcompact
- Only one transmission is offered, so there is no gear build for anyone who does not want a hydrostat
