AGRIFULL 355-C or Massey Ferguson MF 560?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 355-C has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the MF 560 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Massey Ferguson MF 560 suits road haulage better on this data: 150% (15.0 km/h / 9.3 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 Massey Ferguson MF 560 is 14% heavier (350 kg / 772 lb) than the AGRIFULL 355-C (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Massey Ferguson MF 560 has 150% more top speed (15.0 km/h / 9.3 mph) than the AGRIFULL 355-C (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540 rpm).
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Drive differs: the AGRIFULL 355-C Tracks and the Massey Ferguson MF 560 2WD — tracks and wheels are different kinds of running gear, not called.
- 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 355-C has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the MF 560 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, hydraulic flow, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
