Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 320 or Fendt 208 FA?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Agroplus 320 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 208 FA has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Fendt 208 FA suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 80% (33.0 L/min / 8.7 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
Generated by rule set compare@4 from the figures on the side-by-side table, allowed by route “similar machines”. 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 Fendt 208 FA has 80% more hydraulic flow (33.0 L/min / 8.7 gpm) than the Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 320 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 320 is 24% heavier (650 kg / 1,433 lb) than the Fendt 208 FA (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 320 has 43% more forward gears (9 gears) than the Fendt 208 FA (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt 208 FA offers 750 rpm at the PTO, which the Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 320 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 320 is newer: production began 7 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- No call on three-point lift: the sources do not state where the lift was measured, so the difference is not a reliable call.
- 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 drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the Agroplus 320 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 208 FA 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.
