Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 4.80 or SAME Explorer 75 (DT)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Agrotron 4.80 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Explorer 75 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 4.80 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 83% (30.0 L/min / 7.9 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 80% (2,770 kg / 6,107 lb) more three-point lift.
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.
