Agco DT-225 or Fendt Favorit 824 LSE?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the DT-225 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Favorit 824 LSE has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Agco DT-225 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 11% (11.2 L/min / 3.0 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Fendt Favorit 824 LSE suits road haulage better on this data: 25% (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 “similar machines”. 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-225 has 11% more hydraulic flow (11.2 L/min / 3.0 gpm) than the Fendt Favorit 824 LSE (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Favorit 824 LSE has 25% more top speed (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) than the Agco DT-225 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Favorit 824 LSE offers 540 rpm at the PTO, which the Agco DT-225 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Agco DT-225 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.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the DT-225 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Favorit 824 LSE has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the DT-225: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “AGCO DT 225”); the Favorit 824 LSE: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Fendt Favorit 824”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, maximum permissible mass, forward gears, a creeper range and PTO independence.
