Massey Ferguson MF 4335 (A) or New Holland TD 70 D (A)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Massey Ferguson MF 4335 (A): three-point lift.
- The Massey Ferguson MF 4335 (A) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 39% (1,141 kg / 2,515 lb) more three-point lift.
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.
