Massey Ferguson MF 184 (A) or SAME Corsaro 70?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the SAME Corsaro 70: three-point lift. On features, the Massey Ferguson 184 (A) is ahead on PTO speeds.
- The Massey Ferguson 184 (A) suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The SAME Corsaro 70 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 63% (1,065 kg / 2,348 lb) more three-point lift.
Generated by rule set compare@4 from the figures on the side-by-side table, allowed by route “similar machines”. 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 SAME Corsaro 70 has 63% more lift (1,065 kg / 2,348 lb) than the Massey Ferguson 184 (A) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The SAME Corsaro 70 is 11% heavier (260 kg / 573 lb) than the Massey Ferguson 184 (A) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Massey Ferguson 184 (A) offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the SAME Corsaro 70 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Massey Ferguson 184 (A) 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 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 figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- 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, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
