Fendt Favorit 926 Vario or New Holland TG 255 (Traktorenlexikon)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Favorit 926 Vario has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the TG 255 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The New Holland TG 255 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 44% (44.5 L/min / 11.8 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Fendt Favorit 926 Vario suits road haulage better on this data: 25% (10.0 km/h / 6.2 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.
