Fendt 313 Vario or Massey Ferguson MF 6280 (A)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, no comparable figure differs by more than its threshold: on this data the machines are level.
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 Fendt 313 Vario is newer: production began 13 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 weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on maximum permissible mass (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Transmissions differ in kind: the Fendt 313 Vario is stepless (CVT) and the Massey Ferguson MF 6280 (A) has 16 to 32 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.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the 313 Vario: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Fendt 313 Vario”); the MF 6280 (A): lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Massey Ferguson MF 6280”) — 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, hydraulic flow, a creeper range, PTO speeds and PTO independence.
