Deutz-Fahr Agrocompact 60 V/F or Renault Ceres 70 X (A)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Agrocompact 60 V/F has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Ceres 70 X (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Renault Ceres 70 X (A) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 10% (270 kg / 595 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Renault Ceres 70 X (A) suits road haulage better on this data: 20% (870 kg / 1,918 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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Renault Ceres 70 X (A) has 10% more lift (270 kg / 595 lb) than the Deutz-Fahr Agrocompact 60 V/F (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).

- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the Agrocompact 60 V/F has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Ceres 70 X (A) 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, a creeper range and PTO independence.
