Deutz-Fahr AgroStar 6.08 or Eicher 3108?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the AgroStar 6.08 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 3108 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroStar 6.08 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 14% (6.9 L/min / 1.8 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
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 AgroStar 6.08 has 14% more hydraulic flow (6.9 L/min / 1.8 gpm) than the Eicher 3108 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Eicher 3108 is 19% heavier (860 kg / 1,896 lb) than the Deutz-Fahr AgroStar 6.08 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroStar 6.08 has 100% more forward gears (20 gears) than the Eicher 3108 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroStar 6.08 offers 750 rpm at the PTO, which the Eicher 3108 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroStar 6.08 is newer: production began 11 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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 independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the AgroStar 6.08 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 3108 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the AgroStar 6.08: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Deutz-Fahr AgroStar 6.08”); the 3108: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Eicher 3108”) — 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, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
