Case-IH CS-68 (A) or Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 67?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the CS-68 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Agroplus 67 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 67 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 30% (12.6 L/min / 3.3 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 67% (1,200 kg / 2,646 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 Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 67 has 30% more hydraulic flow (12.6 L/min / 3.3 gpm) than the Case-IH CS-68 (A) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 67 has 67% more lift (1,200 kg / 2,646 lb) than the Case-IH CS-68 (A) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 67 is newer: production began 12 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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 figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- 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 speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the CS-68 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Agroplus 67 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
