John Deere 8320 T or New Holland T 8020?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 8320 T has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the T 8020 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The New Holland T 8020 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 27% (35.6 L/min / 9.4 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The New Holland T 8020 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.

- Even on maximum permissible mass (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Drive differs: the John Deere 8320T Tracks and the New Holland T 8020 4WD — tracks and wheels are different kinds of running gear, not called.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 8320 T has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the T 8020 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
