Deutz-Fahr Agrocompact 70 V/F 3 or John Deere 2300 (A)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Agrocompact 70 V/F 3 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 2300 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The John Deere 2300 (A) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 34% (1,030 kg / 2,271 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Deutz-Fahr Agrocompact 70 V/F 3 suits road haulage better on this data: 33% (10.0 km/h / 6.2 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 John Deere 2300 (A) has 34% more lift (1,030 kg / 2,271 lb) than the Deutz-Fahr Agrocompact 70 V/F 3 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The John Deere 2300 (A) is 29% heavier (735 kg / 1,620 lb) than the Deutz-Fahr Agrocompact 70 V/F 3 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr Agrocompact 70 V/F 3 has 100% more forward gears (10 gears) than the John Deere 2300 (A) (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr Agrocompact 70 V/F 3 has 33% more top speed (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) than the John Deere 2300 (A) (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr Agrocompact 70 V/F 3 is newer: production began 5 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the Agrocompact 70 V/F 3 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 2300 (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, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
