Deutz-Fahr AgroCompact 3.50 V/F/S or Fiat 60-56 LM (DT)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the AgroCompact 3.50 V/F/S has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 60-56 LM (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroCompact 3.50 V/F/S suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 31% (10.2 L/min / 2.7 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 26% (455 kg / 1,003 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroCompact 3.50 V/F/S 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.
