Deutz-Fahr AgroStar 6.71 or Steyr 9160 a?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the AgroStar 6.71 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 9160 a has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroStar 6.71 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 167% (5,000 kg / 11,023 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 6.71 has 167% more lift (5,000 kg / 11,023 lb) than the Steyr 9160a (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroStar 6.71 is 12% heavier (750 kg / 1,653 lb) than the Steyr 9160a (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Steyr 9160a has 78% more forward gears (14 gears) than the Deutz-Fahr AgroStar 6.71 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroStar 6.71 offers 750 rpm at the PTO, which the Steyr 9160a does not (as stated by the sources).
- Even on maximum permissible mass (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the AgroStar 6.71 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 9160 a 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, a creeper range and PTO independence.
