Ford 3000 Super Dexta/dexta (Typ: 6X/6Y) or John Deere 620?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 3000 Super Dexta/dexta (Typ: 6X/6Y) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 620 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The John Deere 620 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 85% (15.5 L/min / 4.1 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Ford 3000 Super Dexta/dexta (Typ: 6X/6Y) suits road haulage better on this data: 32% (6.0 km/h / 3.7 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.

- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 3000 Super Dexta/dexta (Typ: 6X/6Y) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 620 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, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
