Deutz-Fahr Agrosun 120 or Fendt Vario 513?
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 Vario 513 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Fendt Vario 513 suits road haulage better on this data: 30% (2,400 kg / 5,291 lb) more maximum permissible mass and 67% (20.0 km/h / 12.4 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 Vario 513 is 21% heavier (1,060 kg / 2,337 lb) than the Deutz-Fahr Agrosun 120 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Vario 513 has 30% higher maximum permissible mass (2,400 kg / 5,291 lb) than the Deutz-Fahr Agrosun 120 (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Vario 513 has 67% more top speed (20.0 km/h / 12.4 mph) than the Deutz-Fahr Agrosun 120 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Vario 513 is newer: production began 15 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Transmissions differ in kind: the Deutz-Fahr Agrosun 120 has 24 forward gears and the Fendt Vario 513 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 120 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Vario 513 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 120: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Deutz-Fahr Agrosun 120”); the Vario 513: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Fendt 513 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, hydraulic flow, a creeper range and PTO independence.
