Deutz-Fahr AgroCompakt 3.70 V/F or Ford 5030 (A)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the AgroCompakt 3.70 V/F has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 5030 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroCompakt 3.70 V/F suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 18% (6.2 L/min / 1.6 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 11% (213 kg / 470 lb) more three-point lift.
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 Deutz-Fahr AgroCompakt 3.70 V/F has 18% more hydraulic flow (6.2 L/min / 1.6 gpm) than the Ford 5030 (A) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).

- The Ford 5030 (A) is 15% heavier (370 kg / 816 lb) than the Deutz-Fahr AgroCompakt 3.70 V/F (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroCompakt 3.70 V/F offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Ford 5030 (A) does not (as stated by the sources).
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- 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 AgroCompakt 3.70 V/F has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 5030 (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, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
