SAME Golden 85 Compatto (SAME) or ZETOR 95?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the ZETOR 95: hydraulic flow.
- The ZETOR 95 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 73% (24.7 L/min / 6.5 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 ZETOR 95 has 73% more hydraulic flow (24.7 L/min / 6.5 gpm) than the SAME Golden 85 Compatto (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The ZETOR 95 is 86% heavier (2,150 kg / 4,740 lb) than the SAME Golden 85 Compatto (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The ZETOR 95 is newer: production began 11 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- 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.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- 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 three-point lift: the Golden 85 Compatto: lift through the full range at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “SAME Golden 85 Compatto”); the 95: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Zetor Forterra 95”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- No call on forward gears: sources disagree on the figure for the Golden 85 Compatto.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
