Deutz-Fahr DX 6.30 or Fiat F-120 DT?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Fiat F-120 DT: maximum permissible mass.
- The Fiat F-120 DT suits road haulage better on this data: 19% (1,300 kg / 2,866 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 F-120 DT is 11% heavier (530 kg / 1,168 lb) than the Deutz-Fahr DX 6.30 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Fiat F-120 DT has 19% higher maximum permissible mass (1,300 kg / 2,866 lb) than the Deutz-Fahr DX 6.30 (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Fiat F-120 DT is newer: production began 7 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 hydraulic flow (both pump flow, 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 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.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the DX 6.30: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Deutz-Fahr DX 6.30”); the F-120 DT: lift 610 mm behind the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Fiatagri F120 DT”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power and a creeper range.
