Massey Ferguson MF 6260 (A) or New Holland T 5060?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the MF 6260 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the T 5060 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Massey Ferguson 6260 (A) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 43% (28.6 L/min / 7.6 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 13% (760 kg / 1,676 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Massey Ferguson 6260 (A) suits road haulage better on this data: 29% (2,000 kg / 4,409 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.
