Fendt 927 Vario or Steyr-Case 9250 a?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 927 Vario has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 9250 a has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Fendt 927 Vario suits road haulage better on this data: 56% (6,425 kg / 14,165 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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Fendt 927 Vario is 22% heavier (1,838 kg / 4,052 lb) than the Steyr-Case 9250a (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt 927 Vario has 56% higher maximum permissible mass (6,425 kg / 14,165 lb) than the Steyr-Case 9250a (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt 927 Vario has 25% more top speed (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) than the Steyr-Case 9250a (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt 927 Vario is newer: production began 9 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Transmissions differ in kind: the Fendt 927 Vario is stepless (CVT) and the Steyr-Case 9250a has 24 forward gears — not called.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 927 Vario has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 9250 a 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 927 Vario: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Fendt 927 Vario”); the 9250 a: lift through the full range at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Steyr 9250 a”) — 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.
