Fendt Favorit 612 LS or Fendt Favorit 614 SA?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Favorit 612 LS has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Favorit 614 SA has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Fendt Favorit 612 LS suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 48% (2,117 kg / 4,667 lb) more three-point lift.
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.
