Agco RT-120 (Traktorenlexikon) or Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 130.6?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the RT-120 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Agrotron 130.6 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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Agco RT-120 has 53% more hydraulic flow (44.4 L/min / 11.7 gpm) than the Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 130.6 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 130.6 has 26% more lift (1,269 kg / 2,798 lb) than the Agco RT-120 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Agco RT-120 is 26% heavier (1,445 kg / 3,186 lb) than the Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 130.6 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- Transmissions differ in kind: the Agco RT-120 is stepless (CVT) and the Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 130.6 has 24 forward gears — not called.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, 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 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 RT-120 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Agrotron 130.6 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, a creeper range and PTO independence.
