Massey Ferguson MF 6270 (A) or ZETOR 12441?

Which should you choose?

The figures split: the Massey Ferguson MF 6270 (A) is ahead on hydraulic flow; the ZETOR 12441 is ahead on 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.

What does this mean in plain words?

  • The Massey Ferguson MF 6270 (A) has 38% more hydraulic flow (26.1 L/min / 6.9 gpm) than the ZETOR 12441 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
  • The ZETOR 12441 has 38% more lift (1,600 kg / 3,527 lb) than the Massey Ferguson MF 6270 (A) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
  • The ZETOR 12441 is newer: production began 8 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 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.
  • Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
  • Even on top speed (both top speed forward, 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.
  • No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power and a creeper range.
