Deutz-Fahr D 6207 (C) 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 D 6207 (C) 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 Fendt Farmer 260 P/PA suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 16% (5.7 L/min / 1.5 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Fendt Farmer 260 P/PA suits road haulage better on this data: 33% (10.0 km/h / 6.2 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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Fendt Farmer 260 P/PA has 16% more hydraulic flow (5.7 L/min / 1.5 gpm) than the Deutz-Fahr D 6207 (C) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Farmer 260 P/PA has 163% more forward gears (13 gears) than the Deutz-Fahr D 6207 (C) (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Farmer 260 P/PA has 33% more top speed (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) than the Deutz-Fahr D 6207 (C) (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Farmer 260 P/PA is newer: production began 7 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on maximum permissible mass (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540 rpm).
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the D 6207 (C) 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.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, three-point lift, a creeper range and PTO independence.
