Agco DT-160 or Deutz-Fahr AgroStar 6.71?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the DT-160 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the AgroStar 6.71 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Agco DT-160 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 41% (33.9 L/min / 9.0 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 Agco DT-160 has 41% more hydraulic flow (33.9 L/min / 9.0 gpm) than the Deutz-Fahr AgroStar 6.71 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Agco DT-160 is 27% heavier (1,823 kg / 4,019 lb) than the Deutz-Fahr AgroStar 6.71 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroStar 6.71 offers 750 rpm at the PTO, which the Agco DT-160 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Agco DT-160 is newer: production began 9 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on three-point lift (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 25% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the DT-160 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the AgroStar 6.71 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
