Deutz-Fahr AgroXtra 4.57 or SOMECA 880-5 (TD)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Deutz-Fahr AgroXtra 4.57: hydraulic flow and three-point lift. It is also ahead on top speed and PTO speeds.
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroXtra 4.57 suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 750 rpm.
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroXtra 4.57 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 14% (5.9 L/min / 1.6 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 83% (2,360 kg / 5,203 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Deutz-Fahr AgroXtra 4.57 suits road haulage better on this data: 20% (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) more top speed.
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.
