John Deere 8420 T vs Schlüter Super Trac 3000 TVL-LS
11 material differences · fewer than 12
Which should you choose?
We will not advise between these two machines, because the drive differs (Tracks; 4WD); they were not built in overlapping years (2002–2005; 1988–1989); the 8420 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.
