Fiat F-115 DT or New Holland TM 125 (Traktorenlexikon)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the F-115 DT has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the TM 125 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The New Holland TM 125 suits road haulage better on this data: 13% (1,000 kg / 2,205 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 New Holland TM 125 is 21% heavier (937 kg / 2,066 lb) than the Fiat F-115 DT (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The New Holland TM 125 has 13% higher maximum permissible mass (1,000 kg / 2,205 lb) than the Fiat F-115 DT (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The New Holland TM 125 is newer: production began 6 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- 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 speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- 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 F-115 DT has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the TM 125 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 F-115 DT: lift 610 mm behind the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Fiatagri F115 DT”); the TM 125: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “New Holland TM125”) — 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 and a creeper range.
