Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 320 or ZETOR 8641?
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 8641 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The ZETOR 8641 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 39% (16.0 L/min / 4.2 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 ZETOR 8641 has 39% more hydraulic flow (16.0 L/min / 4.2 gpm) than the Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 320 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The ZETOR 8641 is 29% heavier (980 kg / 2,161 lb) than the Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 320 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 320 is newer: production began 10 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 difference is under the 25% threshold, too small to call.
- 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 Agroplus 320 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 8641 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the Agroplus 320: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 320”); the 8641: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Zetor 8641 (1999-2002)”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- 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.
