New Holland 8160 or New Holland TLA 100 (A)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 8160 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the TLA 100 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The New Holland 8160 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 65% (39.1 L/min / 10.3 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 New Holland 8160 has 65% more hydraulic flow (39.1 L/min / 10.3 gpm) than the New Holland TLA 100 (A) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The New Holland 8160 is 33% heavier (1,305 kg / 2,877 lb) than the New Holland TLA 100 (A) (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The New Holland TLA 100 (A) is newer: production began 8 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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 speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 8160 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the TLA 100 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the 8160: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “New Holland 8160”); the TLA 100 (A): lift through the full range at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “New Holland TL 100 A (2004-2008)”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
