Massey Ferguson MF 575 (A) or ZETOR 6711?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Massey Ferguson MF 575 (A): hydraulic flow.
- The Massey Ferguson MF 575 (A) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 213% (42.5 L/min / 11.2 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Massey Ferguson MF 575 (A) has 213% more hydraulic flow (42.5 L/min / 11.2 gpm) than the ZETOR 6711 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Massey Ferguson MF 575 (A) is 20% heavier (520 kg / 1,146 lb) than the ZETOR 6711 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- 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.
