Deutz-Fahr DX 6.05 or Fiat TL 90 (DT)?
Which should you choose?
The figures split: the Fiat TL 90 (DT) is ahead on hydraulic flow; the Deutz-Fahr DX 6.05 is ahead on three-point lift and maximum permissible mass.
- The Deutz-Fahr DX 6.05 suits road haulage better on this data: 13% (800 kg / 1,764 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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Fiat TL 90 (DT) has 23% more hydraulic flow (11.2 L/min / 3.0 gpm) than the Deutz-Fahr DX 6.05 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr DX 6.05 has 55% more lift (1,850 kg / 4,079 lb) than the Fiat TL 90 (DT) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr DX 6.05 has 13% higher maximum permissible mass (800 kg / 1,764 lb) than the Fiat TL 90 (DT) (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Fiat TL 90 (DT) is newer: production began 11 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on power at the PTO shaft (both power at the PTO, claimed): the difference is under the 10% threshold for claimed figures, too small to call.
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 25% threshold, too small to call.
- 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 PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power and a creeper range.
