Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 60 (Traktorenlexikon) or John Deere 5225 (A)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Agroplus 60 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 5225 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
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.

- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the Agroplus 60 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 5225 (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.
