Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 70 or Fiat 70-86 (DT)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Agroplus 70 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 70-86 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 70 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 12% (4.7 L/min / 1.2 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 22% (525 kg / 1,157 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 70 suits road haulage better on this data: 33% (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) more top speed.
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.
