AGRIFULL A-90 DL-Turbo or SAME Golden 85 Compatto (SAME)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the A-90 DL-Turbo has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Golden 85 Compatto has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The AGRIFULL A-90 DL-Turbo suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 104% (1,788 kg / 3,942 lb) more three-point lift.
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 AGRIFULL A-90 DL-Turbo has 104% more lift (1,788 kg / 3,942 lb) than the SAME Golden 85 Compatto (both lift through the full range at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The AGRIFULL A-90 DL-Turbo is 25% heavier (620 kg / 1,367 lb) than the SAME Golden 85 Compatto (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The SAME Golden 85 Compatto offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the AGRIFULL A-90 DL-Turbo does not (as stated by the sources).
- The SAME Golden 85 Compatto is newer: production began 5 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on hydraulic flow (both pump flow, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- 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 A-90 DL-Turbo has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Golden 85 Compatto has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- No call on forward gears: sources disagree on the figure for the Golden 85 Compatto.
- 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.
