Deutz-Fahr Agrosun 120 or Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 120 MK3?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Agrosun 120 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Agrotron 120 MK3 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 120 MK3 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 14% (8.8 L/min / 2.3 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 71% (3,840 kg / 8,466 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 120 MK3 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.
