Agco DT-180 or Agco RT-155 A?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the DT-180 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the RT-155 A has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Agco DT-180 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 42% (2,628 kg / 5,794 lb) more three-point lift.
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-180 has 42% more lift (2,628 kg / 5,794 lb) than the Agco RT-155 A (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Agco DT-180 is 16% heavier (1,193 kg / 2,630 lb) than the Agco RT-155 A (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Agco RT-155 A offers 540 rpm at the PTO, which the Agco DT-180 does not (as stated by the sources).
- Even on hydraulic flow (both pump flow, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Transmissions differ in kind: the Agco DT-180 has 18 forward gears and the Agco RT-155 A is stepless (CVT) — not called.
- 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.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the DT-180 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the RT-155 A 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.
