Deutz-Fahr Agroplus S 100 or Fendt 209 VA/VA-breit?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Agroplus S 100 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 209 VA/VA-breit has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Fendt 209 VA/VA-breit suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 37% (20.0 L/min / 5.3 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Deutz-Fahr Agroplus S 100 suits road haulage better on this data: 14% (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) more top speed.
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.
