BUKH 452 (Super) or SAME Atlanta-V (DT)?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 452 (Super) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Atlanta-V (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The BUKH 452 (Super) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 167% (20.0 L/min / 5.3 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 BUKH 452 (Super) has 167% more hydraulic flow (20.0 L/min / 5.3 gpm) than the SAME Atlanta-V (DT) (both pump flow, as stated by the source).

- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 452 (Super) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Atlanta-V (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
