Fendt 512 Vario or ZETOR 11441 (2007-2009)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 512 Vario has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 11441 (2007-2009) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Fendt 512 Vario suits road haulage better on this data: 31% (2,500 kg / 5,512 lb) more maximum permissible mass and 25% (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) more top speed.
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.

- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 512 Vario has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 11441 (2007-2009) 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 512 Vario: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Fendt 512 Vario”); the 11441 (2007-2009): lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Zetor 11441 (2007-2009)”) — 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 and PTO independence.
