Fiat 60-56 LM (DT) or ZETOR 8641?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the ZETOR 8641: hydraulic flow and three-point lift. It is also ahead on forward gears and PTO speeds.
- The ZETOR 8641 suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The ZETOR 8641 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 74% (24.2 L/min / 6.4 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 224% (3,905 kg / 8,609 lb) more three-point lift.
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 ZETOR 8641 has 74% more hydraulic flow (24.2 L/min / 6.4 gpm) than the Fiat 60-56 LM (DT) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The ZETOR 8641 has 224% more lift (3,905 kg / 8,609 lb) than the Fiat 60-56 LM (DT) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The ZETOR 8641 is 100% heavier (2,200 kg / 4,850 lb) than the Fiat 60-56 LM (DT) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The ZETOR 8641 has 100% more forward gears (12 gears) than the Fiat 60-56 LM (DT) (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The ZETOR 8641 offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Fiat 60-56 LM (DT) does not (as stated by the sources).
- The ZETOR 8641 is newer: production began 11 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on power at the PTO shaft (both power at the PTO, claimed): the difference is under the 10% threshold for claimed figures, 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 PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
