John Deere 2700 (A) or New Holland T 5040?
Which should you choose?
The figures split: the New Holland T 5040 is ahead on hydraulic flow; the John Deere 2700 (A) is ahead on maximum permissible mass.
- The New Holland T 5040 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 41% (19.3 L/min / 5.1 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The John Deere 2700 (A) suits road haulage better on this data: 21% (1,300 kg / 2,866 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 T 5040 has 41% more hydraulic flow (19.3 L/min / 5.1 gpm) than the John Deere 2700 (A) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The John Deere 2700 (A) has 21% higher maximum permissible mass (1,300 kg / 2,866 lb) than the New Holland T 5040 (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The New Holland T 5040 is newer: production began 15 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 three-point lift (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, 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.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power and a creeper range.
