Fendt Xylon 522 or Massey Ferguson MF 5470 (A)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Xylon 522 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the MF 5470 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Fendt Xylon 522 suits road haulage better on this data: 25% (2,100 kg / 4,630 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 Xylon 522 is 32% heavier (1,430 kg / 3,153 lb) than the Massey Ferguson MF 5470 (A) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Xylon 522 has 25% higher maximum permissible mass (2,100 kg / 4,630 lb) than the Massey Ferguson MF 5470 (A) (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Xylon 522 has 175% more forward gears (28 gears) than the Massey Ferguson MF 5470 (A) (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Xylon 522 offers 750 rpm at the PTO, which the Massey Ferguson MF 5470 (A) does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Massey Ferguson MF 5470 (A) is newer: production began 12 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on hydraulic flow (both pump flow, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the Xylon 522 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the MF 5470 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, three-point lift, a creeper range and PTO independence.
