Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 70 or Hürlimann H-468.4 A?
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 H-468.4 A 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: 24% (8.7 L/min / 2.3 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- 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.

- The Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 70 has 33% more top speed (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) than the Hürlimann H-468.4A (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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 H-468.4 A 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 70: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 70”); the H-468.4 A: lift through the full range at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Hürlimann H 468.4 Club”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- 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, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
