What does this mean in plain words?
- The Massey Ferguson 3070 (A) is 11% heavier (392 kg / 864 lb) than the Massey Ferguson 4345 (A) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Massey Ferguson 3070 (A) has 167% more forward gears (20 gears) than the Massey Ferguson 4345 (A) (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Massey Ferguson 4345 (A) has 33% more top speed (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) than the Massey Ferguson 3070 (A) (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Massey Ferguson 4345 (A) is newer: production began 15 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 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 speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the MF 4345 (A): lift through the full range at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Massey Ferguson MF 4345”); the MF 3070 (A): lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Massey Ferguson MF 3070”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow and a creeper range.
