AGRIFULL 350-C (CL/Compact/S) or SAME Explorer 55 (DT)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 350-C (CL/Compact/S) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Explorer 55 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The SAME Explorer 55 (DT) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 45% (9.0 L/min / 2.4 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The SAME Explorer 55 (DT) suits road haulage better on this data: 200% (20.0 km/h / 12.4 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 SAME Explorer 55 (DT) has 45% more hydraulic flow (9.0 L/min / 2.4 gpm) than the AGRIFULL 350-C (CL/Compact/S) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The SAME Explorer 55 (DT) has 50% more forward gears (4 gears) than the AGRIFULL 350-C (CL/Compact/S) (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The SAME Explorer 55 (DT) has 200% more top speed (20.0 km/h / 12.4 mph) than the AGRIFULL 350-C (CL/Compact/S) (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The SAME Explorer 55 (DT) is newer: production began 7 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.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540 rpm).
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Drive differs: the AGRIFULL 350-C (CL/Compact/S) Tracks and the SAME Explorer 55 (DT) Two-wheel or four-wheel drive — tracks and wheels are different kinds of running gear, not called.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 350-C (CL/Compact/S) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Explorer 55 (DT) 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, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
