Massey Ferguson MF 7465 or ZETOR 12441?

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 12441 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: 72% (50.3 L/min / 13.3 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
  • The Massey Ferguson 7465 suits road haulage better on this data: 19% (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.
