Deutz-Fahr Agrolux 90 or Renault 97-54 TS?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Agrolux 90 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 97-54 TS has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Renault 97-54 TS suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 16% (5.6 L/min / 1.5 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
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 97-54 TS has 16% more hydraulic flow (5.6 L/min / 1.5 gpm) than the Deutz-Fahr Agrolux 90 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 97-54 TS is 64% heavier (1,810 kg / 3,990 lb) than the Deutz-Fahr Agrolux 90 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Renault 97-54 TS has 33% more forward gears (4 gears) than the Deutz-Fahr Agrolux 90 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr Agrolux 90 is newer: production began 10 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- 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 Agrolux 90 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 97-54 TS 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, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
