Fiat 80-90 (DT) or Massey Ferguson MF 3070 (A)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Massey Ferguson MF 3070 (A): power at the PTO shaft, hydraulic flow and maximum permissible mass. It is also ahead on forward gears.
- The Massey Ferguson MF 3070 (A) suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: 10% (5.4 kW / 7.2 hp) more power at the PTO shaft.
- The Massey Ferguson MF 3070 (A) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 44% (15.6 L/min / 4.1 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Massey Ferguson MF 3070 (A) suits road haulage better on this data: 28% (1,500 kg / 3,307 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.
