John Deere 3050 (A) or New Holland TS 100 (A)?

Which should you choose?

The figures split: the New Holland TS 100 (A) is ahead on hydraulic flow; the John Deere 3050 (A) is ahead on maximum permissible mass.

  • The New Holland TS 100 (A) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 64% (33.7 L/min / 8.9 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
  • The John Deere 3050 (A) suits road haulage better on this data: 12% (700 kg / 1,543 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 TS 100 (A) has 64% more hydraulic flow (33.7 L/min / 8.9 gpm) than the John Deere 3050 (A) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
  • The John Deere 3050 (A) has 12% higher maximum permissible mass (700 kg / 1,543 lb) than the New Holland TS 100 (A) (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
  • The New Holland TS 100 (A) is newer: production began 11 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.
