Massey Ferguson MF 2775 or Massey Ferguson MF 3690 (A)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the MF 2775 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the MF 3690 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Massey Ferguson MF 3690 (A) suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: 11% (682 kg / 1,504 lb) heavier and four-wheel drive.
- The Massey Ferguson MF 2775 suits road haulage better on this data: 27% (7.5 km/h / 4.7 mph) more top speed.
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.
