Fendt 611 LS/LSA or IMT 5100/5106?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Fendt 611 LS/LSA: hydraulic flow. It is also ahead on forward gears and PTO speeds.
- The Fendt 611 LS/LSA suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 750 rpm.
- The Fendt 611 LS/LSA suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 15% (6.0 L/min / 1.6 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
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 611 LS/LSA has 15% more hydraulic flow (6.0 L/min / 1.6 gpm) than the IMT 5100/5106 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt 611 LS/LSA has 33% more forward gears (4 gears) than the IMT 5100/5106 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt 611 LS/LSA offers 750 rpm at the PTO, which the IMT 5100/5106 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The IMT 5100/5106 is newer: production began 5 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 weight (both unladen weight, 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 figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the 611 LS/LSA: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Fendt Favorit 611 LS”); the 5100/5106: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “IMT 5100/5106”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
