Deutz-Fahr Agrosun 120 or Hürlimann SX 1200?
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 SX 1200 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Hürlimann SX 1200 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 30% (1,600 kg / 3,527 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Hürlimann SX 1200 suits road haulage better on this data: 30% (2,400 kg / 5,291 lb) more maximum permissible mass and 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.

- 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 SX 1200 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 and a creeper range.
