Steyr 360 Kompakt or ZETOR 8641?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the ZETOR 8641: maximum permissible mass. It is also ahead on PTO speeds.
- The ZETOR 8641 suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The ZETOR 8641 suits road haulage better on this data: 40% (1,900 kg / 4,189 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 ZETOR 8641 is 54% heavier (1,540 kg / 3,395 lb) than the Steyr 360 Kompakt (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The ZETOR 8641 has 40% higher maximum permissible mass (1,900 kg / 4,189 lb) than the Steyr 360 Kompakt (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The ZETOR 8641 offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Steyr 360 Kompakt does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Steyr 360 Kompakt is newer: production began 5 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 hydraulic flow (both pump flow, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- 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 drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, three-point lift, a creeper range and PTO independence.
