Fahr D 60 L or Fendt Favorit 3s?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Fendt Favorit 3s: maximum permissible mass. It is also ahead on forward gears, PTO speeds, PTO independence and drive.
- The Fendt Favorit 3s suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm and an independent PTO.
- The Fendt Favorit 3s suits road haulage better on this data: 13% (500 kg / 1,102 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 Fahr D 60 L is 27% heavier (745 kg / 1,642 lb) than the Fendt Favorit 3s (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Favorit 3s has 13% higher maximum permissible mass (500 kg / 1,102 lb) than the Fahr D 60 L (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Favorit 3s has 129% more forward gears (9 gears) than the Fahr D 60 L (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Favorit 3s offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Fahr D 60 L does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Fendt Favorit 3s has an independent PTO; the Fahr D 60 L’s is dependent (stops with the clutch).
- The Fendt Favorit 3s is available with four-wheel drive; the Fahr D 60 L is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The Fendt Favorit 3s is newer: production began 15 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 top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, three-point lift and a creeper range.
