Deutz-Fahr AgroStar 8.31 or Fendt Favorit 824 LSE?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the AgroStar 8.31 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Favorit 824 LSE has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Fendt Favorit 824 LSE suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 17% (15.0 L/min / 4.0 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Fendt Favorit 824 LSE suits road haulage better on this data: 25% (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) more top speed.
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.

- The Fendt Favorit 824 LSE offers 540 rpm at the PTO, which the Deutz-Fahr AgroStar 8.31 does not (as stated by the sources).
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- 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 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 8.31 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Favorit 824 LSE has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
