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 75A
What they like
- 64 PTO hp out of 74 engine hp puts it level with the Farmall 75C's driveline for considerably less money, which is the whole argument for the A series
- 4,299 lb hitch standard, 4,740 lb optional - more than the 75C's own 3,664 lb rating at the same measuring point
- No particulate filter: cooled EGR and a DOC only, with a 600-hour oil change interval
- Available as non-cab as well as cab, unlike the Farmall 75C which is effectively a cab tractor
- The 8x8 shuttle can be swapped for a 12x12 power shuttle or a 12x12 with creeper at order time
What they complain about
- Case IH publishes no price, and the dealer pages that quote one (56,600 dollars at one Tennessee dealer) include the loader and rear weights, so none of it is usable
- 12.6 gpm of hydraulic flow behind 74 hp is genuinely low - a Workmaster 75 moves 16 gpm and a 5075E more still
- The L610 loader tops out at 1,828 lb non-self-levelling to max height, which is not much for a 74 hp tractor
- Case IH's own page says 74 hp / 64 PTO where the brochure says 74 / 60, so the PTO figure depends which document you read
- No cruise control, and the mechanical shuttle uses a dry clutch that will wear if the loader work is relentless
- 2WD is the base axle; the MFD build this entry describes is an option
Case IH Farmall 35A
What they like
- 31 PTO hp from 35 gross is the highest driveline efficiency in the compact A range, and it loses only 0.9 hp on the hydrostatic build
- Naturally aspirated where every other compact A is turbocharged - fewer hot parts, and nothing to spool on a machine that spends its life at PTO speed
- 12.6 gal of fuel is the largest tank in the range, and nearly double what the outgoing 35A carried
- A 12 x 12 mechanical shuttle with synchro shift is standard, with a 3-range hydrostatic offered rather than forced
- No DEF tank anywhere in the compact A line
- The 6-year extended warranty covers the whole compact A and C series at no additional cost
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
- The MY2026 redesign cut hitch lift from 1,808 lb to 1,596 lb at 24 in. behind the pin, so the new tractor picks up less than the one it replaces
- The Farmall Compact brochure Case IH still links from this page is the outgoing machine and prints 29.7 PTO hp, 7.4 gal and 1,808 lb - only the 2026 spec sheet matches the model page
- Zero rear remotes in the base build; up to three are optional, so every rear circuit is a line item
- Case IH rates the L340A at 890 lb but does not publish where it measured, so the figure sits beside nobody else's cleanly
- Non-cab only across the whole compact A series, so a heated cab means the compact C frame
