Agco RT-115 (Traktorenlexikon) or New Holland T 6030 Plus?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the RT-115 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the T 6030 Plus has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
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.
