Agco RT 180 A or New Holland TG 210 (Traktorenlexikon)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the RT 180 A has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the TG 210 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 New Holland TG 210 has 25% more hydraulic flow (29.5 L/min / 7.8 gpm) than the Agco RT 180A (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Agco RT 180A has 54% more lift (2,308 kg / 5,088 lb) than the New Holland TG 210 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The New Holland TG 210 is 17% heavier (1,363 kg / 3,005 lb) than the Agco RT 180A (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Agco RT 180A is newer: production began 7 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Transmissions differ in kind: the Agco RT 180A is stepless (CVT) and the New Holland TG 210 has 18 to 24 forward gears — not called.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- 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.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the RT 180 A has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the TG 210 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.
