Massey Ferguson MF 7465 or New Holland T 6040 Elite (Traktorenlexikon)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the MF 7465 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the T 6040 Elite has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Massey Ferguson 7465 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 11% (12.0 L/min / 3.2 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
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 7465 has 11% more hydraulic flow (12.0 L/min / 3.2 gpm) than the New Holland T 6040 Elite (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Massey Ferguson 7465 is 17% heavier (1,000 kg / 2,205 lb) than the New Holland T 6040 Elite (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- 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.
- Transmissions differ in kind: the Massey Ferguson 7465 is stepless (CVT) and the New Holland T 6040 Elite has 16 to 17 forward gears — not called.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the MF 7465 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the T 6040 Elite has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, three-point lift, a creeper range and PTO independence.
