Massey Ferguson MF 6170 (A) or New Holland T 6020 Delta (Traktorenlexikon)?

Which should you choose?

On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the New Holland T 6020 Delta: three-point lift and maximum permissible mass.

  • The New Holland T 6020 Delta suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 61% (2,280 kg / 5,027 lb) more three-point lift.
  • The New Holland T 6020 Delta suits road haulage better on this data: 20% (1,500 kg / 3,307 lb) more maximum permissible mass.

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.
