Deutz-Fahr AgroPrima 4.56 or International Harvester 3288?

Which should you choose?

The figures split: the International Harvester 3288 is ahead on hydraulic flow; the Deutz-Fahr AgroPrima 4.56 is ahead on three-point lift and PTO speeds.

  • The Deutz-Fahr AgroPrima 4.56 suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 750 rpm.

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.
