Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 70 or Fiat 72-86 (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 72-86 (DT) 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 “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 Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 70 is 41% heavier (803 kg / 1,770 lb) than the Fiat 72-86 (DT) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 70 offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Fiat 72-86 (DT) does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 70 is newer: production began 5 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on three-point lift (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% 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 drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the Agroplus 70 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 72-86 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- No call on forward gears: sources disagree on the figure for the Agroplus 70.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
