ZETOR 7320/7340 or ZETOR 8641?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 7320/7340 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 8641 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The ZETOR 8641 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 43% (17.0 L/min / 4.5 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 41% (1,632 kg / 3,598 lb) more three-point lift.
- The ZETOR 8641 suits road haulage better on this data: 20% (1,100 kg / 2,425 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.
