DEUTZ-ALLIS 6060 or Massey Ferguson MF 4225 (A)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 6060 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the MF 4225 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Massey Ferguson MF 4225 (A) 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.
