Fendt Favorit 612 LSA or SOMECA 1300 Super (DT)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Favorit 612 LSA has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 1300 Super (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Fendt Favorit 612 LSA suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 58% (26.5 L/min / 7.0 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 66% (2,941 kg / 6,484 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Fendt Favorit 612 LSA 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.
