DEUTZ-ALLIS 7120 or Fendt Favorit 712 Vario?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 7120 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Favorit 712 Vario has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The DEUTZ-ALLIS 7120 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 16% (12.3 L/min / 3.2 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Fendt Favorit 712 Vario suits road haulage better on this data: 67% (20.0 km/h / 12.4 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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The DEUTZ-ALLIS 7120 has 16% more hydraulic flow (12.3 L/min / 3.2 gpm) than the Fendt Favorit 712 Vario (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Favorit 712 Vario is 12% heavier (600 kg / 1,323 lb) than the DEUTZ-ALLIS 7120 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Favorit 712 Vario has 67% more top speed (20.0 km/h / 12.4 mph) than the DEUTZ-ALLIS 7120 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Favorit 712 Vario is newer: production began 13 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Transmissions differ in kind: the DEUTZ-ALLIS 7120 has 24 to 32 forward gears and the Fendt Favorit 712 Vario is stepless (CVT) — not called.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 7120 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Favorit 712 Vario has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- No call on PTO speeds: sources disagree on the PTO speeds of the Favorit 712 Vario.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
