Deutz-Fahr 70 (F) or Fendt 207 S?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 70 (F) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 207 S has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
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 Fendt 207S is 35% heavier (810 kg / 1,786 lb) than the Deutz-Fahr 70 (F) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt 207S has 31% more forward gears (5 gears) than the Deutz-Fahr 70 (F) (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt 207S offers 750 rpm at the PTO, which the Deutz-Fahr 70 (F) does not (as stated by the sources).
- 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 70 (F) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 207 S 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.
