Deutz-Fahr DX 6.05 or Ford 7600 (A)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Deutz-Fahr DX 6.05: hydraulic flow and three-point lift.
- The Deutz-Fahr DX 6.05 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 34% (12.4 L/min / 3.3 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 93% (2,500 kg / 5,512 lb) more three-point lift.
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 Deutz-Fahr DX 6.05 has 34% more hydraulic flow (12.4 L/min / 3.3 gpm) than the Ford 7600 (A) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr DX 6.05 has 93% more lift (2,500 kg / 5,512 lb) than the Ford 7600 (A) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr DX 6.05 is 63% heavier (1,759 kg / 3,878 lb) than the Ford 7600 (A) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz-Fahr DX 6.05 is newer: production began 12 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 forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- 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, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
