Massey Ferguson MF 7485 or Renault 175-74 TZ?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the MF 7485 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 175-74 TZ has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Massey Ferguson 7485 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 100% (61.0 L/min / 16.1 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Massey Ferguson 7485 suits road haulage better on this data: 30% (2,800 kg / 6,173 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.
