Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 150 (New) or New Holland TM 150 (Traktorenlexikon)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the New Holland TM 150: hydraulic flow, three-point lift and maximum permissible mass.
- The New Holland TM 150 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 42% (35.2 L/min / 9.3 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 12% (736 kg / 1,623 lb) more three-point lift.
- The New Holland TM 150 suits road haulage better on this data: 18% (1,500 kg / 3,307 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.

- The Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 150 (New) is newer: production began 6 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 forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
