Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 200 MK3 or Massey Ferguson MF 8160 A?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Agrotron 200 MK3 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the MF 8160 A has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 200 MK3 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 121% (64.6 L/min / 17.1 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 77% (4,360 kg / 9,612 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 200 MK3 suits road haulage better on this data: 33% (3,000 kg / 6,614 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.
