Massey Ferguson MF 3090 (A) or ZETOR 11641?

Which should you choose?

On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the ZETOR 11641: hydraulic flow, three-point lift and maximum permissible mass. On features, the Massey Ferguson MF 3090 (A) is ahead on forward gears.

  • The ZETOR 11641 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 27% (13.8 L/min / 3.6 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 40% (1,540 kg / 3,395 lb) more three-point lift.
  • The ZETOR 11641 suits road haulage better on this data: 11% (800 kg / 1,764 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.
