Fendt Favorit 612 S or URSUS 1122 / 1124?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Favorit 612 S has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 1122 / 1124 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The URSUS 1122 / 1124 (also listed as 1222/1224) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 15% (5.6 L/min / 1.5 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Fendt Favorit 612S 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 URSUS 1122 / 1124 (also listed as 1222/1224) has 15% more hydraulic flow (5.6 L/min / 1.5 gpm) than the Fendt Favorit 612S (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Favorit 612S has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the URSUS 1122 / 1124 (also listed as 1222/1224) (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The URSUS 1122 / 1124 (also listed as 1222/1224) offers 540 rpm at the PTO, which the Fendt Favorit 612S does not (as stated by the sources).
- The URSUS 1122 / 1124 (also listed as 1222/1224) is newer: production began 12 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 25% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the Favorit 612 S has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 1122 / 1124 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
