AGCO-ALLIS 5660 or Fendt Farmer 304 LS?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 5660 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Farmer 304 LS has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Fendt Farmer 304 LS suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 13% (4.7 L/min / 1.2 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
Generated by rule set compare@4 from the figures on the side-by-side table, allowed by route “the same stated configuration”. Measured figures are compared only with measured, claimed only with claimed, at the same test condition; differences within each figure’s tolerance are not called.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Fendt Farmer 304 LS has 13% more hydraulic flow (4.7 L/min / 1.2 gpm) than the AGCO-ALLIS 5660 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Farmer 304 LS is 37% heavier (845 kg / 1,863 lb) than the AGCO-ALLIS 5660 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Farmer 304 LS offers 750 rpm at the PTO, which the AGCO-ALLIS 5660 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The AGCO-ALLIS 5660 is available with four-wheel drive; the Fendt Farmer 304 LS is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The AGCO-ALLIS 5660 is newer: production began 12 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 5660 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Farmer 304 LS has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the 5660: lift through the full range 610 mm behind the ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “AGCO-Allis 5660”); the Farmer 304 LS: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Fendt Farmer 304 LS”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
