Fendt Favorit 622 LS or Ford 8870?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Favorit 622 LS has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 8870 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Ford 8870 suits road haulage better on this data: 18% (2,110 kg / 4,652 lb) more maximum permissible mass.
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 Favorit 622 LS is 10% heavier (890 kg / 1,962 lb) than the Ford 8870 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Ford 8870 has 18% higher maximum permissible mass (2,110 kg / 4,652 lb) than the Fendt Favorit 622 LS (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Ford 8870 is newer: production began 14 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (1000 rpm).
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the Favorit 622 LS has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 8870 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the Favorit 622 LS: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Fendt Favorit 622 LS/LSA”); the 8870: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Ford 8870”) — 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, hydraulic flow, forward gears, a creeper range and PTO independence.
