Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 75 or Massey Ferguson MF 3055 (A)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Agroplus 75 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the MF 3055 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Massey Ferguson MF 3055 (A) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 13% (455 kg / 1,003 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 75 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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Massey Ferguson MF 3055 (A) has 13% more lift (455 kg / 1,003 lb) than the Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 75 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Massey Ferguson MF 3055 (A) is 14% heavier (470 kg / 1,036 lb) than the Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 75 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 75 has 88% more forward gears (14 gears) than the Massey Ferguson MF 3055 (A) (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr Agroplus 75 has 33% more top speed (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) than the Massey Ferguson MF 3055 (A) (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 75 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the MF 3055 (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, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
