Steyr 955 (a) or ZETOR 5213/5243-Turbo V/P?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 955 (a) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 5213/5243-Turbo V/P has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Steyr 955 (a) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 42% (13.6 L/min / 3.6 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 34% (588 kg / 1,296 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Steyr 955 (a) suits road haulage better on this data: 20% (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) more top speed.
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.
