Agco DT-180 or Massey Ferguson MF 8150 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 MF 8150 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: 115% (61.4 L/min / 16.2 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 59% (3,300 kg / 7,275 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.
