New Holland 8560 A or SAME Titan 160?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 8560 A has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Titan 160 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The New Holland 8560A suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 71% (40.9 L/min / 10.8 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The New Holland 8560A suits road haulage better on this data: 12% (1,000 kg / 2,205 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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The New Holland 8560A has 71% more hydraulic flow (40.9 L/min / 10.8 gpm) than the SAME Titan 160 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The New Holland 8560A has 12% higher maximum permissible mass (1,000 kg / 2,205 lb) than the SAME Titan 160 (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The SAME Titan 160 has 50% more forward gears (9 gears) than the New Holland 8560A (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The New Holland 8560A is newer: production began 5 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, 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 PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 8560 A has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Titan 160 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 8560 A: lift through the full range at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “New Holland 8560”); the Titan 160: lift through the full range 610 mm behind the ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “SAME Titan 160”) — 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 and a creeper range.
