Deutz-Fahr AgroXtra 3.57 or Fendt Farmer 260 P/PA?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the AgroXtra 3.57 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Farmer 260 P/PA has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroXtra 3.57 suits road haulage better on this data: 13% (500 kg / 1,102 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.
