Fendt Favorit 3s or Leyland 272?
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 Favorit 3s is ahead on forward gears, PTO speeds and drive.
- The Fendt Favorit 3s suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
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 Leyland 272 is 12% heavier (317 kg / 699 lb) than the Fendt Favorit 3s (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Favorit 3s has 60% more forward gears (6 gears) than the Leyland 272 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Favorit 3s offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Leyland 272 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Fendt Favorit 3s is available with four-wheel drive; the Leyland 272 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The Leyland 272 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.
- Even on three-point lift (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- 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.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
