Deutz-Fahr AgroPrima 4.56 or Fendt 209 S?

Which should you choose?

On performance, no comparable figure differs by more than its threshold: on this data the machines are level.

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 AgroPrima 4.56 is 17% heavier (560 kg / 1,235 lb) than the Fendt 209S (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
  • The Fendt 209S is newer: production began 12 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
  • Even on power at the PTO shaft (both power at the PTO, claimed): the difference is under the 10% threshold for claimed figures, too small to call.
  • Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 25% 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 PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000, 750 rpm).
  • Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
  • Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
  • Not comparable on three-point lift: the AgroPrima 4.56: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Deutz-Fahr AgroPrima 4.56”); the 209 S: lift through the full range at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Fendt Farmer 209 S”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
  • No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
