Agco RT-130 (Traktorenlexikon) or Fendt Vario 514?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the RT-130 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Vario 514 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Fendt Vario 514 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 “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 Fendt Vario 514 has 25% more top speed (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) than the Agco RT-130 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Vario 514 is newer: production began 11 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.
- Transmissions differ in kind: the Agco RT-130 has 18 to 32 forward gears and the Fendt Vario 514 is stepless (CVT) — not called.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the RT-130 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Vario 514 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 RT-130: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “AGCO RT 130”); the Vario 514: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Fendt 514 Vario”) — 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, a creeper range and PTO independence.
