Bührer Komfort 6105 (A) or Massey Ferguson MF 1104?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Bührer Komfort 6105 (A): hydraulic flow. On features, the Massey Ferguson 1104 is ahead on top speed and PTO speeds.
- The Massey Ferguson 1104 suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The Bührer Komfort 6105 (A) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 17% (5.8 L/min / 1.5 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Massey Ferguson 1104 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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Bührer Komfort 6105 (A) has 17% more hydraulic flow (5.8 L/min / 1.5 gpm) than the Massey Ferguson 1104 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Massey Ferguson 1104 has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Bührer Komfort 6105 (A) (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Massey Ferguson 1104 offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Bührer Komfort 6105 (A) does not (as stated by the sources).
- Even on power at the PTO shaft (both power at the PTO, claimed): the difference is under the 10% threshold for claimed figures, too small to call.
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 25% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- 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 three-point lift: the Komfort 6105 (A): lift through the full range at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Bührer 6105 (A)”); the MF 1104: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Massey Ferguson MF 1104”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- 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.
