John Deere 8100 T vs Schlüter Super 1800 TVL-Special
10 material differences · fewer than 12
Which should you choose?
We will not advise between these two machines, because their unladen weight differs by more than 25% (61%); the drive differs (Tracks; 4WD); they were not built in overlapping years (1997–1998; 1986–1987); the 8100 T is on tracks, not an alternative to an ordinary tractor. The figures below are side by side so you can judge them yourself; each says whether it was measured, claimed or declared by its source.
