DEUTZ-ALLIS 6260 or Massey Ferguson MF 360 (A)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 6260 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the MF 360 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The DEUTZ-ALLIS 6260 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 151% (28.6 L/min / 7.6 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 24% (470 kg / 1,036 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-ALLIS 6260 has 151% more hydraulic flow (28.6 L/min / 7.6 gpm) than the Massey Ferguson 360 (A) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The DEUTZ-ALLIS 6260 has 24% more lift (470 kg / 1,036 lb) than the Massey Ferguson 360 (A) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The DEUTZ-ALLIS 6260 is 26% heavier (606 kg / 1,336 lb) than the Massey Ferguson 360 (A) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The DEUTZ-ALLIS 6260 offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Massey Ferguson 360 (A) does not (as stated by the sources).
- 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 difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 6260 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the MF 360 (A) 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 and a creeper range.
