Deutz-Fahr Agrotron K 430 or New Holland T 6020 Plus?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Agrotron K 430 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the T 6020 Plus has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The New Holland T 6020 Plus suits road haulage better on this data: 13% (1,000 kg / 2,205 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.

- 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 speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the Agrotron K 430 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the T 6020 Plus 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 K 430: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Deutz-Fahr Agrotron K 430”); the T 6020 Plus: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “New Holland T 6020 Plus”) — 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, forward gears, a creeper range and PTO independence.
