John Deere 2200 (A) or SAME Dorado 65 (DT)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 2200 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Dorado 65 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The John Deere 2200 (A) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 27% (790 kg / 1,742 lb) more three-point lift.
- The SAME Dorado 65 (DT) suits road haulage better on this data: 33% (10.0 km/h / 6.2 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.

What does this mean in plain words?

- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 2200 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Dorado 65 (DT) 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, hydraulic flow and a creeper range.
