Deutz-Fahr Agrokid 40 (45) or John Deere 5200 (A)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Agrokid 40 (45) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 5200 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The John Deere 5200 (A) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 44% (525 kg / 1,157 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 John Deere 5200 (A) has 44% more lift (525 kg / 1,157 lb) than the Deutz-Fahr Agrokid 40 (45) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The John Deere 5200 (A) is 48% heavier (627 kg / 1,382 lb) than the Deutz-Fahr Agrokid 40 (45) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr Agrokid 40 (45) offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the John Deere 5200 (A) does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Deutz-Fahr Agrokid 40 (45) is newer: production began 13 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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 difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the Agrokid 40 (45) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 5200 (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 and a creeper range.
