Case-Steyr M 958 (a) or Deutz-Fahr AgroXtra 3.57?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Deutz-Fahr AgroXtra 3.57: hydraulic flow. It is also ahead on PTO speeds.
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroXtra 3.57 suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 750 rpm.
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroXtra 3.57 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 23% (7.2 L/min / 1.9 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
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 AgroXtra 3.57 has 23% more hydraulic flow (7.2 L/min / 1.9 gpm) than the Case-Steyr M 958 (a) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroXtra 3.57 is 39% heavier (930 kg / 2,050 lb) than the Case-Steyr M 958 (a) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroXtra 3.57 offers 750 rpm at the PTO, which the Case-Steyr M 958 (a) does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Case-Steyr M 958 (a) is newer: production began 5 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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 three-point lift (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on maximum permissible mass (both maximum permissible mass, 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 drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, a creeper range and PTO independence.
