Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 230 MK3 or Fendt Favorit 824 LSE?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Agrotron 230 MK3 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Favorit 824 LSE has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 230 MK3 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 18% (18.3 L/min / 4.8 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 230 MK3 suits road haulage better on this data: 17% (2,000 kg / 4,409 lb) more maximum permissible mass.
Generated by rule set compare@4 from the figures on the side-by-side table, allowed by route “similar machines”. 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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 230 MK3 has 18% more hydraulic flow (18.3 L/min / 4.8 gpm) than the Fendt Favorit 824 LSE (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 230 MK3 has 17% higher maximum permissible mass (2,000 kg / 4,409 lb) than the Fendt Favorit 824 LSE (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Favorit 824 LSE offers 540 rpm at the PTO, which the Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 230 MK3 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 230 MK3 is newer: production began 8 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the Agrotron 230 MK3 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Favorit 824 LSE has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the Agrotron 230 MK3: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 230 MK3”); the Favorit 824 LSE: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Fendt Favorit 824”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, forward gears, a creeper range and PTO independence.
