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 75C
What they like
- 65 PTO HP from the turbocharged FPT 3.4L is genuinely strong for the class - it runs round balers, 10-foot cutters, and disc mowers without strain
- The 3,664 lb three-point lift is the highest figure in this horsepower class, though Case IH does not publish the point it is measured at, so it is not strictly comparable with the 5075E's 3,192 lb at 24 inches behind
- The optional 12x12 power shuttle with wet clutch makes loader direction changes clutchless and effortless
- The available deluxe cab with air conditioning is one of the nicer offices in the small-utility class for all-weather work
- The L600-series loader is rated 2,734 lbs, again without a published measuring point, and takes a third-function valve for grapple work
- A 23.8-gallon tank and 6,000+ lb frame make it a stable, genuine all-day production tractor
What they complain about
- It's priced a healthy step above the New Holland Workmaster 75 even though both are CNH machines with FPT power
- The base 8x8 mechanical shuttle feels dated, and stepping up to the 12x12 power shuttle adds real money
- Hydraulic flow of 12.5 GPM trails the 16+ GPM the Workmaster 75 and Deere 5075E deliver, so hungry attachments run slower
- No hydrostatic option - buyers who mostly mow or do fine loader work may prefer an HST compact
- Resale value trails an equivalent Deere 5075E, the perennial benchmark in this horsepower class
- Case IH publishes no price for it, so what a loaded cab and loader configuration costs is a dealer conversation rather than something you can look up
Case IH Farmall 50A
What they like
- Internal EGR with a DOC and a maintenance-free particulate catalyst means no diesel particulate filter to regenerate, which is the headline difference against a Deere 5045E in the same slot
- The 8F x 8R mechanical shuttle is column-mounted, so loader direction changes need the clutch but not a reach across the platform
- Dual gear pumps split 11.9 gpm to the implement circuit and 5.5 gpm to steering, so a loaded bucket does not make the wheel go heavy
- 540/540E PTO is offered, and 540E drops the engine to 2,016 rpm for light work like raking - real fuel saving on a tractor this size
- A 96.4 in wheelbase and 5,060 lb MFD weight give it the stability a 40-hp compact simply does not have with a full bucket
- Telescopic lower links and stabilizers come with the hitch rather than as an option, which makes hooking up mounted implements a one-person job
What they complain about
- Case IH publishes no list price and its dealers quote on request, so the page cannot tell you what it costs - every figure that surfaces publicly bundles a loader
- 2WD is the standard front axle and MFD is an extra-cost option, so the 4WD this entry describes is not the base build
- Non-cab only in the brochure, so if you want a heated cab you are pushed to the 55A family or the utility C series
- The 2,701 lb hitch is well under the 4,299 lb the 55A carries, and that gap decides which one can run a mid-size baler
- Case IH's own page quotes 43 PTO hp where the series brochure says 45 - a two-horsepower disagreement the maker has not reconciled
- Only one rear remote is standard; a second and the mid-mount pair are options you have to specify with the loader
