DEUTZ-ALLIS 6240 or Fendt F 345 GT?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 6240 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the F 345 GT has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Fendt F 345 GT suits road haulage better on this data: 35% (1,400 kg / 3,086 lb) more maximum permissible mass and 33% (10.0 km/h / 6.2 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.
