Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 80 or Fendt Farmer 304 LS/Turbo?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Agrotron 80 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Farmer 304 LS/Turbo has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 80 suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: 20% (675 kg / 1,488 lb) heavier and four-wheel drive.
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.

- The Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 80 is available with four-wheel drive; the Fendt Farmer 304 LS/Turbo is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 80 is newer: production began 7 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the Agrotron 80 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Farmer 304 LS/Turbo 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 80: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 80”); the Farmer 304 LS/Turbo: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Fendt Farmer 304 LS/Turbo”) — 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, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
