Deutz-Fahr Agrosun 100 or Fendt 411 Vario?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Agrosun 100 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 411 Vario has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Fendt 411 Vario suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 17% (11.0 L/min / 2.9 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Fendt 411 Vario suits road haulage better on this data: 33% (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 “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 Fendt 411 Vario has 17% more hydraulic flow (11.0 L/min / 2.9 gpm) than the Deutz-Fahr Agrosun 100 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt 411 Vario is 11% heavier (520 kg / 1,146 lb) than the Deutz-Fahr Agrosun 100 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt 411 Vario has 33% more top speed (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) than the Deutz-Fahr Agrosun 100 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt 411 Vario is newer: production began 8 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Transmissions differ in kind: the Deutz-Fahr Agrosun 100 has 24 forward gears and the Fendt 411 Vario is stepless (CVT) — not called.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the Agrosun 100 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 411 Vario 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 Agrosun 100: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Deutz-Fahr Agrosun 100”); the 411 Vario: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Fendt 411 Vario”) — 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, a creeper range and PTO independence.
