Fendt Farmer 260 P/PA or ZETOR 6211/6245?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Farmer 260 P/PA has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 6211/6245 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The ZETOR 6211/6245 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 39% (15.9 L/min / 4.2 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Fendt Farmer 260 P/PA suits road haulage better on this data: 60% (15.0 km/h / 9.3 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 ZETOR 6211/6245 has 39% more hydraulic flow (15.9 L/min / 4.2 gpm) than the Fendt Farmer 260 P/PA (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The ZETOR 6211/6245 is 26% heavier (620 kg / 1,367 lb) than the Fendt Farmer 260 P/PA (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Farmer 260 P/PA has 60% more top speed (15.0 km/h / 9.3 mph) than the ZETOR 6211/6245 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The ZETOR 6211/6245 offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Fendt Farmer 260 P/PA does not (as stated by the sources).
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 25% 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 Farmer 260 P/PA has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 6211/6245 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
