Fendt Favorit 716 Vario or Landini 165 DT?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Favorit 716 Vario has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 165 DT has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Fendt Favorit 716 Vario suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 79% (48.5 L/min / 12.8 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
Generated by rule set compare@4 from the figures on the side-by-side table, allowed by route “similar machines”. 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.
