Fendt Farmer 102 or Ford 2000 Dexta (A)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Farmer 102 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 2000 Dexta (A) 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 “similar machines”. 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.
