Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 130.6 or New Holland T 6040 Elite (Traktorenlexikon)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Agrotron 130.6 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the T 6040 Elite has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The New Holland T 6040 Elite suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 30% (24.9 L/min / 6.6 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 26% (1,644 kg / 3,624 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.

- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the Agrotron 130.6 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the T 6040 Elite 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, a creeper range and PTO independence.
