Deutz-Fahr AgroStar 6.21 or Massey Ferguson MF 3610?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the AgroStar 6.21 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the MF 3610 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroStar 6.21 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 11% (650 kg / 1,433 lb) more three-point lift.
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 6.21 has 11% more lift (650 kg / 1,433 lb) than the Massey Ferguson 3610 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Massey Ferguson 3610 is 13% heavier (615 kg / 1,356 lb) than the Deutz-Fahr AgroStar 6.21 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Massey Ferguson 3610 offers 540 rpm at the PTO, which the Deutz-Fahr AgroStar 6.21 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroStar 6.21 is newer: production began 5 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the AgroStar 6.21 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the MF 3610 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
