Agco RT-145 or Fendt 515 C?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the RT-145 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 515 C has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Agco RT-145 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 23% (21.3 L/min / 5.6 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
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-145 has 23% more hydraulic flow (21.3 L/min / 5.6 gpm) than the Fendt 515C (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Agco RT-145 is 22% heavier (1,209 kg / 2,665 lb) than the Fendt 515C (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Agco RT-145 is newer: production began 7 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the RT-145 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 515 C 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-145: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “AGCO RT 145”); the 515 C: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Fendt Favorit 515 C”) — 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, maximum permissible mass, forward gears, a creeper range and PTO independence.
