Fendt F 380 GTA-Turbo or Massey Ferguson MF 6255 (A)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the F 380 GTA-Turbo has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the MF 6255 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Massey Ferguson MF 6255 (A) suits road haulage better on this data: 17% (1,300 kg / 2,866 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 Massey Ferguson MF 6255 (A) has 17% higher maximum permissible mass (1,300 kg / 2,866 lb) than the Fendt F 380 GTA-Turbo (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt F 380 GTA-Turbo offers 750 rpm at the PTO, which the Massey Ferguson MF 6255 (A) does not (as stated by the sources).
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- 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 PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the F 380 GTA-Turbo has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the MF 6255 (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 F 380 GTA-Turbo: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Fendt F 380 GTA Turbo”); the MF 6255 (A): lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Massey Ferguson MF 6255”) — 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 and a creeper range.
