Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 105 or Massey Ferguson MF 4360 (A)?
Which should you choose?
The figures split: the Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 105 is ahead on three-point lift and forward gears; the Massey Ferguson 4360 (A) is ahead on maximum permissible mass.
- The Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 105 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 14% (556 kg / 1,225 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Massey Ferguson 4360 (A) suits road haulage better on this data: 24% (1,800 kg / 3,968 lb) more maximum permissible mass.
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.
