Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 160 or Landini 165 DT?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Agrotron 160 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 165 DT has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 160 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 87% (53.5 L/min / 14.1 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 19% (1,600 kg / 3,527 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Landini 165 DT suits road haulage better on this data: 15% (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.
