Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 156 or Renault Ares 715 RZ?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Agrotron 156 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Ares 715 RZ has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Renault Ares 715 RZ suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 45% (37.0 L/min / 9.8 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 25% (2,320 kg / 5,115 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Renault Ares 715 RZ suits road haulage better on this data: 26% (2,500 kg / 5,512 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.
