Agco GT-45 or Case-IH 3220 (DT)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the GT-45 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 3220 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Agco GT-45 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 Case-IH 3220 (DT) is 11% heavier (256 kg / 564 lb) than the Agco GT-45 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Agco GT-45 has 33% more top speed (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) than the Case-IH 3220 (DT) (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Agco GT-45 is newer: production began 11 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- 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 GT-45 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 3220 (DT) 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 GT-45: lift 610 mm behind the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “AGCO GT 45”); the 3220 (DT): lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Case-IH 3220”) — 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, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
