Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 110 (New) or Massey Ferguson MF 5455 (A)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Agrotron 110 (New) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the MF 5455 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 110 (New) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 30% (17.4 L/min / 4.6 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 30% (1,440 kg / 3,175 lb) more three-point lift.
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.
