Deutz-Fahr AgroPrima 6.16 or John Deere 3650 A?
Which should you choose?
The figures split: the Deutz-Fahr AgroPrima 6.16 is ahead on three-point lift and PTO speeds; the John Deere 3650A is ahead on maximum permissible mass.
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroPrima 6.16 suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 750 rpm.
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroPrima 6.16 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 15% (674 kg / 1,486 lb) more three-point lift.
- The John Deere 3650A suits road haulage better on this data: 11% (800 kg / 1,764 lb) more maximum permissible mass.
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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroPrima 6.16 has 15% more lift (674 kg / 1,486 lb) than the John Deere 3650A (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The John Deere 3650A is 12% heavier (535 kg / 1,179 lb) than the Deutz-Fahr AgroPrima 6.16 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The John Deere 3650A has 11% higher maximum permissible mass (800 kg / 1,764 lb) than the Deutz-Fahr AgroPrima 6.16 (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroPrima 6.16 offers 750 rpm at the PTO, which the John Deere 3650A does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroPrima 6.16 is newer: production began 6 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 figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
