Fendt 415 Vario or New Holland TM 150 (Traktorenlexikon)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 415 Vario has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the TM 150 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 New Holland TM 150 is 16% heavier (883 kg / 1,947 lb) than the Fendt 415 Vario (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt 415 Vario offers 750 rpm at the PTO, which the New Holland TM 150 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Fendt 415 Vario is newer: production began 7 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Transmissions differ in kind: the Fendt 415 Vario is stepless (CVT) and the New Holland TM 150 has 18 to 24 forward gears — not called.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 415 Vario has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the TM 150 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the 415 Vario: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Fendt 415 Vario”); the TM 150: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “New Holland TM150”) — 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, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
