Eicher Mammut 3020 HR A or Massey Ferguson MF 174 (A)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Mammut 3020 HR A has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the MF 174 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Eicher Mammut 3020 HR A suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 77% (1,175 kg / 2,590 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.

- The Eicher Mammut 3020 HR A is 39% heavier (855 kg / 1,885 lb) than the Massey Ferguson MF 174 (A) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Massey Ferguson MF 174 (A) offers 540 rpm at the PTO, which the Eicher Mammut 3020 HR A does not (as stated by the sources).
- Transmissions differ in kind: the Eicher Mammut 3020 HR A is stepless (CVT) and the Massey Ferguson MF 174 (A) has 12 forward gears — not called.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the Mammut 3020 HR A has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the MF 174 (A) 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, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
