Fendt Farmer 275 S/SA or Massey Ferguson MF 184 (A)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, no comparable figure differs by more than its threshold: on this data the machines are level. On features, the Fendt Farmer 275 S/SA is ahead on forward gears and top speed.
- The Fendt Farmer 275 S/SA suits road haulage better on this data: 20% (5.0 km/h / 3.1 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 Farmer 275 S/SA is 11% heavier (260 kg / 573 lb) than the Massey Ferguson 184 (A) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Farmer 275 S/SA has 75% more forward gears (9 gears) than the Massey Ferguson 184 (A) (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Farmer 275 S/SA has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Massey Ferguson 184 (A) (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Farmer 275 S/SA is newer: production began 8 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on power at the PTO shaft (both power at the PTO, claimed): the difference is under the 10% threshold for claimed figures, too small to call.
- PTO speeds differ: the Fendt Farmer 275 S/SA 540/750 rpm and the Massey Ferguson 184 (A) 540/1000 rpm — each offers a speed the other does not; which matters depends on the implement.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
