Deutz-Fahr DX 86 or ZETOR 7320/7340?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the DX 86 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 7320/7340 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
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 86 is 15% heavier (470 kg / 1,036 lb) than the ZETOR 7320/7340 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The ZETOR 7320/7340 is newer: production began 13 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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 three-point lift (both lift at the hitch ends, 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 power at the PTO shaft: the DX 86 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 7320/7340 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, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
