AGRIFULL 80-50 (DT) or Case-Steyr M 948 (a)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 80-50 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the M 948 (a) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Case-Steyr M 948 (a) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 40% (8.8 L/min / 2.3 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 64% (869 kg / 1,916 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Case-Steyr M 948 (a) suits road haulage better on this data: 20% (5.0 km/h / 3.1 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.
