AGCO-ALLIS 6690 or Case-IH 5120 Maxxum?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 6690 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 5120 Maxxum has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Case-IH 5120 Maxxum suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 109% (39.2 L/min / 10.4 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 41% (1,254 kg / 2,765 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Case-IH 5120 Maxxum suits road haulage better on this data: 44% (2,300 kg / 5,071 lb) more maximum permissible mass.
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.
