DEUTZ-ALLIS 7145 or Massey Ferguson MF 2725?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 7145 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the MF 2725 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Massey Ferguson MF 2725 suits road haulage better on this data: 17% (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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Massey Ferguson MF 2725 is 13% heavier (700 kg / 1,543 lb) than the DEUTZ-ALLIS 7145 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The DEUTZ-ALLIS 7145 has 125% more forward gears (20 gears) than the Massey Ferguson MF 2725 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Massey Ferguson MF 2725 has 17% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the DEUTZ-ALLIS 7145 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- 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 7145 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the MF 2725 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, hydraulic flow, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
