Fendt Farmer 102 LS/LSA or Hanomag Granit 501 E (S)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Farmer 102 LS/LSA has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Granit 501 E (S) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Fendt Farmer 102 LS/LSA suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 22% (370 kg / 816 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Fendt Farmer 102 LS/LSA suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: 12% (255 kg / 562 lb) heavier and four-wheel drive.
- The Fendt Farmer 102 LS/LSA suits road haulage better on this data: 10% (2.8 km/h / 1.7 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.
