Deutz-Fahr AgroCompact 3.90 F/S or VALMET 6200-4?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the AgroCompact 3.90 F/S has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 6200-4 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The VALMET 6200-4 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 96% (39.3 L/min / 10.4 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 98% (2,155 kg / 4,751 lb) more three-point lift.
- The VALMET 6200-4 suits road haulage better on this data: 63% (2,500 kg / 5,512 lb) more maximum permissible mass.
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.
