Deutz-Fahr AgroStar 6.28 or New Holland TM 125 (Traktorenlexikon)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the AgroStar 6.28 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the TM 125 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The New Holland TM 125 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 113% (61.9 L/min / 16.4 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 New Holland TM 125 has 113% more hydraulic flow (61.9 L/min / 16.4 gpm) than the Deutz-Fahr AgroStar 6.28 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).

- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the AgroStar 6.28 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the TM 125 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 and a creeper range.
