BUKH 554 (Super) or Deutz (KHD) Intrac 2002?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 554 (Super) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Intrac 2002 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Deutz Intrac 2002 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 17% (300 kg / 661 lb) more three-point lift.
- The Deutz Intrac 2002 suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: four-wheel drive.
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 Deutz Intrac 2002 has 17% more lift (300 kg / 661 lb) than the BUKH 554 (Super) (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Deutz Intrac 2002 is available with four-wheel drive; the BUKH 554 (Super) is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The Deutz Intrac 2002 is newer: production began 9 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, 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.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 554 (Super) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Intrac 2002 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, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass, forward gears and a creeper range.
