Fendt Favorit 614 SA or Hürlimann D-550 Hydrostat?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Favorit 614 SA has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the D-550 Hydrostat has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Fendt Favorit 614 SA suits road haulage better on this data: 11% (3.0 km/h / 1.9 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.
