AGRIFULL 80-66 (DT) or Case-Steyr M 968 (a)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 80-66 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the M 968 (a) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Case-Steyr M 968 (a) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 29% (9.3 L/min / 2.5 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Case-Steyr M 968 (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.

- The Case-Steyr M 968 (a) has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the AGRIFULL 80-66 (DT) (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Case-Steyr M 968 (a) offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the AGRIFULL 80-66 (DT) does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Case-Steyr M 968 (a) is newer: production began 14 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 80-66 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the M 968 (a) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
