Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 105 or Fendt 211 Vario?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 105: hydraulic flow.
- The Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 105 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 38% (18.0 L/min / 4.8 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
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 Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 105 has 38% more hydraulic flow (18.0 L/min / 4.8 gpm) than the Fendt 211 Vario (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 105 is 15% heavier (570 kg / 1,257 lb) than the Fendt 211 Vario (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt 211 Vario is newer: production began 12 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on power at the PTO shaft (both power at the PTO, claimed): the difference is under the 10% threshold for claimed figures, 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.
- Transmissions differ in kind: the Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 105 has 21 to 24 forward gears and the Fendt 211 Vario is stepless (CVT) — not called.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, three-point lift, a creeper range and PTO independence.
