Agco LT-85 or Agco LT-90?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the LT-85 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the LT-90 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Agco LT-90 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 41% (16.6 L/min / 4.4 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 133% (2,026 kg / 4,467 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Agco LT-90 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 “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 LT-90 has 41% more hydraulic flow (16.6 L/min / 4.4 gpm) than the Agco LT-85 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Agco LT-90 has 133% more lift (2,026 kg / 4,467 lb) than the Agco LT-85 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Agco LT-90 has 33% more top speed (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) than the Agco LT-85 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- 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.
- 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 LT-85 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the LT-90 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.
