Massey Ferguson MF 6160 (A) or New Holland TS 115 ES?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the New Holland TS 115 ES: hydraulic flow and three-point lift.
- The New Holland TS 115 ES suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 50% (25.4 L/min / 6.7 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 19% (910 kg / 2,006 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.

- 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 weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, 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.
