Agco DT-225 B or John Deere 8410 T?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the DT-225 B has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 8410 T has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The John Deere 8410T suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 13% (13.4 L/min / 3.5 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Agco DT-225B suits road haulage better on this data: 33% (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) more top speed.
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 John Deere 8410T has 13% more hydraulic flow (13.4 L/min / 3.5 gpm) than the Agco DT-225B (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Agco DT-225B has 33% more top speed (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) than the John Deere 8410T (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Agco DT-225B is newer: production began 9 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Transmissions differ in kind: the Agco DT-225B is stepless (CVT) and the John Deere 8410T has 16 forward gears — not called.
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Drive differs: the Agco DT-225B 4WD and the John Deere 8410T Tracks — tracks and wheels are different kinds of running gear, not called.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the DT-225 B has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 8410 T has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- No call on PTO speeds: sources disagree on the PTO speeds of the 8410 T.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
