Fendt Xylon 320 or Massey Ferguson MF 2680?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Xylon 320 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the MF 2680 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Fendt Xylon 320 suits road haulage better on this data: 33% (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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Fendt Xylon 320 has 31% more forward gears (5 gears) than the Massey Ferguson MF 2680 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Xylon 320 has 33% more top speed (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) than the Massey Ferguson MF 2680 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Xylon 320 offers 750 rpm at the PTO, which the Massey Ferguson MF 2680 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Fendt Xylon 320 is newer: production began 10 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 PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the Xylon 320 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the MF 2680 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 Xylon 320: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Fendt Xylon 320”); the MF 2680: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Massey Ferguson MF 2680”) — 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, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
