Which should you choose?
We will not advise between these two machines, because the drive differs (4WD; Tracks); they were not built in overlapping years (1990–1994; 2002–2005); the 8520 T is on tracks, not an alternative to an ordinary tractor. The figures below are side by side so you can judge them yourself; each says whether it was measured, claimed or declared by its source.
